What the result means

Pace shows how long each kilometer or mile takes. It is useful for workouts, race goals, and split planning.

Pace = total time ÷ distance. Speed = distance ÷ time.

Terrain, heat, elevation, and fatigue can change actual pace.

Example calculation

Running 5 km in 30 minutes equals 6:00 per km.
