About Running Pace and Speed
Pace and speed are two ways to measure how fast you're moving. Pace is how much time it takes to cover a certain distance (e.g., minutes per mile), while speed is how much distance you cover in a certain time (e.g., miles per hour).
Common Race Distances:
| Distance | Miles | Kilometers |
|---|---|---|
| 5K | 3.107 | 5.0 |
| 10K | 6.214 | 10.0 |
| Half Marathon | 13.109 | 21.097 |
| Marathon | 26.219 | 42.195 |
Pace Conversion:
To convert between min/mile and min/km:
- min/mile to min/km: Divide by 1.609 (or multiply by 0.621)
- min/km to min/mile: Multiply by 1.609 (or divide by 0.621)
Training Tips:
- Use splits to maintain consistent pacing during races
- Most runners should train at various paces (easy, tempo, interval)
- Your race pace should feel challenging but sustainable
