An IMEI number is 15 digits long, while a 16-digit number you might see is the IMEISV (IMEI Software Version), which includes two extra digits for the software version. The 15-digit IMEI is the globally unique identifier for your phone, and the 16-digit version is used by carriers to track software versions.
Formula
The calculator above works out your average pace and speed from a total time and distance. The formulas are:
- Pace = Total time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km) → result in minutes per kilometer.
- Speed = Distance (km) ÷ (Total time (minutes) ÷ 60) → result in kilometers per hour.
Where Total time is in minutes, Distance is in kilometers, Pace is in min/km, and Speed is in km/h. If you prefer miles, convert distance to miles first (1 km = 0.621371 miles) and the pace will be min/mile, speed miles per hour.
Worked Example
Using the default values: 120 minutes total time and 10 km distance.
- Pace = 120 ÷ 10 = 12.00 min/km
- Speed = 10 ÷ (120 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 2 = 5.00 km/h
So the average pace is 12 minutes per kilometer, and the average speed is 5 kilometers per hour. The calculator rounds to two decimals, matching this result.
When to Use This Calculator
Use this tool when you have a total time and distance from a run, cycle, walk, or hike and want a quick pace or speed figure. It is especially handy for training zones, race pacing, or comparing efforts across different routes. The result gives you an average – it does not show variations in speed during the activity, which a GPS watch would provide.
How to Read the Result
A lower pace (min/km) means faster. A higher speed (km/h) means faster. For example, a pace of 5:00 min/km equals 12 km/h. If you are used to min/mile, multiply the min/km pace by 1.609 to get min/mile (e.g., 5 min/km ≈ 8:03 min/mile). The speed in km/h is the direct distance per hour, so 12 km/h means you covered 12 kilometers in one hour at that pace.
Common Mistakes
- Mixing units: if you enter distance in miles but time in minutes, the pace will be min/mile, not min/km. Convert first.
- Forgetting to convert hours to minutes: if you have time in hours and minutes, convert everything to minutes (e.g., 1h30m = 90 minutes).
- Rounding too early: if you round the pace to 2 decimals, the speed may be slightly off. Use the full precision in the formula.
Limitations of the Formula
This calculation assumes a constant speed. Real-world activities have hills, stops, and varying effort, so the average pace is just that – an average. It does not account for elevation gain, wind, or surface type. For intervals or workouts with rests, the total time includes rest, so the pace is slower than your moving pace. For accurate training zones, use a heart rate monitor or power meter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert min/km to min/mile?
Multiply the min/km value by 1.609344. For example, 5 min/km × 1.609 = 8.045 min/mile, which is about 8:03 per mile.
What is a good running pace for a beginner?
A common beginner pace is around 6:30 to 8:00 min/km (10:30 to 12:50 min/mile). This varies widely with age, fitness, and terrain. A pace that lets you hold a conversation is a good starting point.
Does the calculator work for walking?
Yes, the same formula applies to walking. A typical walking pace is around 12 min/km (20 min/mile), which is about 5 km/h.
How do I measure distance accurately?
Use a GPS watch, a phone app, or a pre-measured track. For treadmill runs, the distance shown may not be perfectly accurate, so consider using a footpod or manual calibration.
What is the difference between pace and speed?
Pace is time per unit distance (min/km), while speed is distance per unit time (km/h). Pace is common in running, speed in cycling. They are reciprocals: speed = 60 ÷ pace (when pace is in min/km).
Can I use this for cycling?
Yes, but cyclists usually use speed (km/h) more than pace. Enter your ride time and distance, and the speed output will be your average speed.
