FAQs

1. How do I convert min/km to min/mile?

Multiply min/km pace by 1.609. Example: 5:00 min/km × 1.609 ≈ 8:03 min/mile.

2. How do I convert min/mile to km/h?

First, convert pace to minutes, then use the formula:

Speed (km/h) = 60 ÷ Pace (min/km)

3. Why do runners use pace instead of speed?

Pace is easier to track in training (minutes per distance), while speed is common in cycling/swimming.
