Speed Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines running speed in kilometers per hour based on distance covered and time taken.
Purpose: It helps runners, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts measure their average speed during workouts or races.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The distance covered is divided by the time taken to complete that distance.
Details: Knowing your running speed helps track fitness progress, set training goals, and plan race strategies.
Tips: Enter the distance in kilometers and time in hours. For partial hours (e.g., 30 minutes), enter 0.5.
Q1: How do I convert minutes to hours?
A: Divide minutes by 60 (e.g., 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours).
Q2: Can I use this for other activities?
A: Yes, it works for cycling, swimming, or any activity where you measure distance and time.
Q3: What's a good running speed?
A: Average speeds vary, but 8-10 km/hr is typical for recreational runners.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It gives average speed over the entire distance. For more detailed analysis, use interval timing.
Q5: Can I calculate pace (min/km) from this?
A: Yes, pace = 60/speed (e.g., 12 km/hr = 5 min/km).
