Distance Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the distance covered during a run based on your running speed and time.
Purpose: It helps runners plan their workouts and track their performance by calculating distance from speed and time.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The running speed multiplied by the time gives you the total distance covered.
Details: Knowing your running distance helps with training planning, pacing strategies, and tracking progress over time.
Tips: Enter your average running speed in mph and your total running time in hours. For minutes, convert to hours (e.g., 30 minutes = 0.5 hours).
Q1: How do I find my running speed?
A: Use a running app or GPS watch, or calculate manually by timing a known distance.
Q2: Can I use kilometers instead of miles?
A: The calculator uses miles, but you can convert km to mph (1 km/h ≈ 0.621 mph).
Q3: What's a good running speed for beginners?
A: Typically 4-6 mph, but varies by individual fitness level.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It assumes constant speed. For variable pace runs, consider using GPS tracking.
Q5: Can I calculate time if I know distance and speed?
A: Yes, rearrange the formula: \( T = \frac{D}{S} \).
