Frequently asked questions
Does the same pace mean the same effort?
No. Heat, wind, elevation and fatigue change the effort needed for the same pace.
How do I convert pace to speed?
Speed (km/h) = 60 ÷ pace in minutes per kilometer.
What is a beginner pace?
There is no single pace. Start at an effort where you can talk and progress gradually.
Does it work for walking?
Yes, though walking is often measured by speed or daily distance.
