About this tool
Pace is the time it takes to cover one unit of distance, such as 5:30 per kilometer, while speed is the distance covered per hour. The race projections assume you can hold the same pace, which is optimistic for longer distances, so add a margin for a marathon.
Use it to plan training runs and race targets.
