The splits and speed show automatically alongside pace and finish time.
Pace and speed are inverses of each other. A 5:00 min/km pace = 12 km/h. A 6:00 min/km pace = 10 km/h. Mile pace = km pace × 1.60934.
Beginner: 7–9 min/km. Intermediate: 5–7 min/km. Advanced: under 5 min/km. Elite marathon pace is around 3:00 min/km. Focus on consistent improvement rather than comparing to others.
Recreational runners: 55–70 minutes (5:30–7:00 min/km). Good club runners: 40–55 minutes. Sub-40 is considered excellent for most recreational athletes.
Speed (km/h) = 60 ÷ pace (min/km). So a 5:00 min/km pace = 60 ÷ 5 = 12 km/h. This calculator shows both simultaneously.
Running the second half of a race faster than the first. Most elite runners negative split. It requires restraint early on but leads to better total times and less energy depletion.
A comfortable beginner pace is typically 8-10 minutes per kilometre (13-16 min/mile). Focus on completing the distance first. As fitness improves, pace naturally increases. Aim to maintain a conversational pace.
