Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do runners use pace instead of speed? A: Runners often prefer pace (minutes per distance) as it’s easier to track intervals and maintain consistent effort during training and races.

Q: How accurate are the conversions? A: All conversions use standard international units and are accurate to two decimal places for speed and to the second for pace measurements.

Q: Can I use this for walking pace? A: Yes, this calculator works for any activity where you want to convert between speed and pace measurements.
