Examples

Here are some examples in how the calculator can be used. Just click on the links and you will go to the calculator interface, with input values filled in and the corresponding results of the various calculations.

Note that a unit in the calculator's interface and/or result table may be hidden for you when viewing these examples. If you want to see a specific unit, make sure that it is marked in your configuration page.

Distance

Examples of distance conversions.

• 10 km.
• Marathon distance.
• 50 miles.
• Distance between the Earth and the Moon (~384400 km).
• Distance between the Earth and the Sun (1 astronomical unit).

Pace

Examples of pace conversions.

• 5 minutes per kilometer.
• 5 minutes and 30 seconds per mile.
• 100 mph.
• 10 knots.
• Speed of sound.
• Speed of light.

Distance and time

Examples of how distance and time are used for calculating pace (and also converting to other distance units).

• A marathon in 4 hours.
• 10 kilometers in 42 minutes.
• 10 miles in 1 hour.

Distance and pace

Examples of how distance and pace are used for calculating time (and also converting to other distance and pace units).

• A marathon in 4 min/km.
• 15 miles in 10 ft/s.
• Average time for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth.

Pace and time

Examples of how pace and time are used for calculating distance (and also converting to other pace units).

• 2 hours running in 7:30 minutes per mile.
• 50 minutes rowing in 3:15 per 500 m split.
• Driving 4.5 hours in 80 kilometers per hour.

Target split times

Examples of how target split times can be calculated from various sources of information.

• Suppose you plan to run 5 km with a target pace of 4:30 /km. Then you fill in the pace (4:30 per km) and 5 kilometers in the distance field. You also define kilometers in the split distance in drop-down. Push the calculate/convert button and you can read the target split times (for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 km) in the table below the calculator. You also see the target goal time, which is 22:30 in this example.
• Fill in distance 10000 meters, split distance in 400m laps and 26:17.53 as time. Then you will see the target split times for 1, 2, 3, ..., 24 and 25 laps, that you'll have to beat for breaking Kenenisa Bekele's world record.
  If you are a Swede you can first try to beat Jonny Danielson's Swedish record of 27:55.74 or Sarah Lahti's Swedish record of 31:54.87.
