What is running pace?
Pace is measured in minutes per kilometer (min/km). If you run 5 km in 25 minutes, your average pace is 5:00 min/km. Knowing this value is essential for planning workouts, managing race effort and tracking progress.
How to calculate pace manually
The basic formula is: pace = total time ÷ distance. Example: 42 minutes over 7 km = 6:00 min/km. Smartwatches calculate this automatically, but manual checks help you understand your data better.
