Frequently Asked Questions
How is pace calculated?expand_more
Pace is your total time divided by distance, expressed as minutes per mile or kilometer. It's the inverse of speed — a lower pace number means you're running faster.
How accurate are the race time predictions?expand_more
These predictions assume you maintain your exact current pace for the entire race distance. In practice, factors like fatigue over longer distances, hills, weather, and pacing strategy will affect your actual finish time — treat these as a starting point, not a guarantee.
What's a good pace for a beginner runner?expand_more
There’s no universal "good" pace — it depends on your fitness level and goals. Many beginners start around 10-14 minutes per mile and improve with consistent training. Focus on running at a conversational pace before chasing speed.
