Figma Slides: How to Create a Presentation

Figma Slides is a collaborative presentation tool built into Figma, and you can create a presentation by opening the Figma desktop app or web browser, clicking the “New” button, and selecting “Slides deck”. You then design your slides using familiar Figma tools like frames, text, shapes, and components, and present them directly from the app. This article explains the full workflow, from starting a new deck to presenting and sharing it with your team.

Formula

The calculator above computes your average pace and speed for a run, walk, or bike ride. The formulas are:

• Pace = Finish time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km) — result is in minutes per kilometer.
• Speed = Distance (km) ÷ (Finish time (minutes) ÷ 60) — result is in kilometers per hour.

Variables:

• t = finish time in minutes (e.g., 50 minutes).
• d = distance in kilometers (e.g., 10 km).
• Pace = time per kilometer, shown as a decimal (e.g., 5.00 min/km).
• Speed = average speed in km/h (e.g., 12.00 km/h).

Worked Example

Using the default values: finish time = 50 minutes, distance = 10 km.

1. Pace = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.00 min/km.
2. Speed = 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h.

So your average pace is 5 minutes per kilometer, and your average speed is 12 kilometers per hour.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this calculator to plan training runs, estimate race finish times, or compare your performance across different routes. It works for any distance where you know the total time and distance, whether you run on a track, road, or treadmill. The same formula applies to walking, cycling, or swimming if you measure distance in kilometers and time in minutes.

How to Read the Results

The pace tells you how many minutes it takes to cover one kilometer. A lower pace means faster speed. For example, a pace of 4:30 min/km (4.5 min/km) is faster than 6:00 min/km. The speed in km/h is useful if you are used to car speeds or treadmill displays. To convert pace to seconds, multiply the decimal part by 60: 5.50 min/km = 5 minutes and 30 seconds per km.

Common Mistakes and Unit Mix-ups

• Using miles instead of kilometers: If your distance is in miles, convert to km first (1 mile = 1.60934 km) or the pace will be wrong.
• Forgetting to convert hours to minutes: If you enter time in hours (e.g., 1.5 hours), multiply by 60 to get minutes before using the calculator.
• Rounding too early: Keep at least two decimals during calculations to avoid large errors in pace.
• Confusing pace with speed: Pace is time per distance, speed is distance per time. They are inversely related.

Limits of the Formula

This calculator assumes constant speed throughout the activity. Real-world runs include hills, stops, and varying effort, so your actual pace will fluctuate. The result is an average, not a real-time measure. For intervals or uneven terrain, use a GPS watch or app that records per-segment data. Also, the formula does not account for elevation gain, temperature, or fatigue—factors that can significantly affect performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my pace from min/km to min/mile?

Multiply the pace in min/km by 1.60934. For example, 5.00 min/km × 1.60934 = 8.05 min/mile (about 8 minutes 3 seconds per mile). To convert the other way, divide by 1.60934.

What is a good running pace for a beginner?

A comfortable conversational pace for a beginner is often around 7–9 minutes per kilometer (11–14 min/mile). This varies widely by age, fitness, and health. Focus on maintaining a pace where you can talk without gasping, rather than hitting a specific number.

Can I use this calculator for walking?

Yes, the formula works for any activity where you know time and distance. A typical walking pace is 12–15 minutes per kilometer (20–24 min/mile). Just enter your walking time and distance.

How do I calculate pace if I only know my speed in km/h?

Divide 60 by your speed. For example, if you are moving at 12 km/h, your pace is 60 ÷ 12 = 5 minutes per kilometer. If your speed is in mph, first convert to km/h by multiplying by 1.60934.

Why does my GPS watch show a different pace than this calculator?

GPS watches calculate pace in real time using short intervals and may include pauses or elevation changes. This calculator uses total time and total distance, giving a true average. Differences are normal, especially on hilly routes or when you stop at traffic lights.
