Open calculatorA worked example
Sports calculators: running pace, swim pace and steps
Swimming 1,000 m in 20 minutes averages 2:00 minutes per 100 m. Running 5 km in 30 minutes gives 6:00 minutes per kilometre. Breaks affect the average when included in the elapsed time.
Frequently asked questions
Are pace and speed the same?
They express the relationship in opposite ways. Pace is time per distance, such as minutes per kilometre. Speed is distance per time, such as kilometres per hour. A lower pace means faster at the same unit.
Do health calculators assess my health?
No. BMI, calorie needs and step-calorie tools provide model-based estimates. They do not diagnose conditions or automatically consider medicines, illness or your individual exercise capacity.
