This article explains what radioactive coins are in Escape from Tarkov, how to farm them efficiently, and their best uses. You’ll learn where to find them, how to avoid radiation damage, and what they’re actually worth in the current wipe.
Formula
The calculator above works out your average pace and speed for a given distance and time. The formulas are:
- Pace = Time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km) — result in min/km
- Speed = Distance (km) ÷ (Time (minutes) ÷ 60) — result in km/h
Variables: t = total time in minutes, d = distance in kilometers. Pace tells you how long each kilometer takes; speed tells you how many kilometers you cover in an hour.
Worked Example
Using the defaults: t = 60 minutes, d = 10 km.
- Pace = 60 ÷ 10 = 6.00 min/km
- Speed = 10 ÷ (60 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 1 = 10.00 km/h
So if you run 10 km in one hour, your average pace is 6 minutes per kilometer and your average speed is 10 km/h.
When to Use This Calculator
Use this calculator for training runs, hiking plans, or any activity where you want to convert total time and distance into a per-kilometer pace. Runners often use pace to set interval targets, while hikers use it to estimate arrival times. The result works for any unit as long as you keep time in minutes and distance in the same unit (km or miles). If you measure distance in miles, the pace will be in min/mile, which is also common in the US.
How to Read the Result
A lower pace number means faster running (fewer minutes per km). A higher speed number also means faster. For example, a pace of 5:00 min/km equals 12 km/h, while 6:00 min/km equals 10 km/h. The calculator shows pace in decimal minutes (e.g., 6.50 means 6 minutes and 30 seconds per km). To convert the decimal part to seconds, multiply by 60: 0.50 × 60 = 30 seconds.
Common Mistakes
- Mixing units: If you enter distance in miles but time in minutes, the pace will be min/mile, not min/km. Keep both in the same system.
- Using hours instead of minutes: The calculator expects total time in minutes. If you ran for 1.5 hours, enter 90, not 1.5.
- Rounding too early: Round only the final answer, not intermediate steps, to avoid small errors.
Limits of the Formula
This is a simple average calculation. It does not account for elevation gain, rest stops, or changes in speed. For a hilly route, your actual pace will vary, and the average may not reflect the effort. Also, the calculator assumes you are moving the entire time; if you stop for breaks, the total time should include those breaks if you want the overall average pace including stops.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert pace to speed?
Divide 60 by the pace in minutes per km. For example, 6 min/km → 60 ÷ 6 = 10 km/h. Conversely, speed to pace: 60 ÷ speed in km/h gives minutes per km.
What is a good running pace for a beginner?
A comfortable conversational pace for a beginner is often around 7:00–8:00 min/km (8.5–7.5 km/h). This varies widely by age, fitness, and terrain. The calculator helps you find your own baseline.
Should I use this for walking?
Yes, the same formula works for walking. A typical walking pace is 10–12 min/km (5–6 km/h). Enter your total time and distance to get your average.
Does the calculator work for miles?
Yes, if you enter distance in miles, the pace will be in minutes per mile and speed in miles per hour. The math is identical; only the unit label changes.
Why is my pace different on a treadmill?
Treadmills often display speed in km/h or mph directly, but the pace is calculated the same way. If the treadmill shows 10 km/h, your pace is 6:00 min/km. Note that treadmill running may feel easier due to no wind resistance and a flat surface.
