Word Hide White Space Between Pages: How To

To hide the white space between pages in the current document (the gray gaps that appear in Print Layout view), simply double-click the boundary line between any two pages. This instantly collapses the top and bottom margins, making the document flow continuously like a single long page; double-click the boundary again to restore the white space.

Formula

The calculator works out your average pace and speed from two inputs: the time you took to finish (in minutes) and the distance you covered (in kilometers). The formulas are:

• Pace = Time ÷ Distance, expressed in minutes per kilometer (min/km).
• Speed = Distance ÷ (Time ÷ 60), expressed in kilometers per hour (km/h).

Where:

• Time (t) – the total duration of your run or ride in minutes (e.g., 50 minutes).
• Distance (d) – the total distance covered in kilometers (e.g., 10 km).

Worked Example

Using the default values from the calculator – 50 minutes and 10 km – we can calculate the pace and speed step by step.

1. Calculate pace: 50 ÷ 10 = 5.0 minutes per kilometer.
2. Calculate speed: 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.0 km/h.

So with a 50-minute finish time over 10 km, your average pace is 5:00 min/km and your average speed is 12.0 km/h. The calculator shows the same results.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this tool whenever you have a finish time and a known distance and want to know your average pace or speed. Runners often use it to set target paces for races (e.g., “I want to run 10 km in 50 minutes, what pace is that?�). Cyclists and walkers can also use it to compare efforts across different distances. It is especially helpful for planning training sessions or checking whether you hit a goal pace.

How to Read the Results

The pace result tells you how many minutes (and decimal parts of a minute) it takes to cover one kilometer. A lower pace means faster running. The speed result tells you how many kilometers you cover in one hour. For example, a pace of 5.0 min/km corresponds to a speed of 12 km/h. If you prefer miles, you can convert: 1 km ≈ 0.621371 miles, and 1 mile ≈ 1.60934 km. So a 5:00 min/km pace is about 8:03 per mile.

Common Mistakes

• Mixing units: If you enter time in hours instead of minutes, the pace will be wrong. Always convert hours to minutes (1 hour = 60 minutes).
• Using miles without converting: The calculator expects distance in kilometers. If you have miles, multiply by 1.60934 to get kilometers.
• Rounding too early: Keep at least two decimal places in intermediate steps to avoid small errors in the final pace or speed.

Limits of the Formula

This formula assumes a constant pace throughout the entire distance. In reality, your pace may vary due to terrain, wind, fatigue, or stops. The result is an average, not a reflection of every segment. Also, the calculator only works with time and distance; it does not account for elevation gain, heart rate, or other performance factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

To convert min/km to min/mile, multiply the pace (in minutes per km) by 1.60934. For example, 5.0 min/km × 1.60934 = 8.0467 minutes per mile, which is about 8:03 per mile.

What if I run on a treadmill and the distance is in miles?

Convert the distance to kilometers first: multiply the miles by 1.60934. For instance, 3 miles × 1.60934 = 4.828 km. Then enter that value into the calculator.

Can I use this for walking or cycling?

Yes, the formula works for any activity where you know the time and distance. Just enter your total time and distance, and you’ll get the average pace and speed for that activity.

Why does the speed result sometimes look high or low?

Speed is directly derived from pace. If you run a 5:00 min/km pace, your speed is 12 km/h. If you run a 6:00 min/km pace, your speed is 10 km/h. The relationship is inverse: faster pace = higher speed.

How do I calculate pace if I only know my speed?

If you know your speed in km/h, you can find pace by taking 60 divided by the speed. For example, 12 km/h gives 60 ÷ 12 = 5 minutes per kilometer.
