Formula
Speed is distance divided by hours:
km/h = kilometers / (minutes / 60)
The running-pace page answers minutes per kilometer or mile. This page answers the speed.
Assumptions
- The distance is kilometers.
- The pace is steady.
Worked example
10 km in 50 minutes is 12 km/h.
Input definitions
- Distance
- How far, in kilometers.
- Minutes
- How long the distance took.
Limitations
Hills, stops, and a watch's GPS error are not part of the division.
Questions
How do I see pace instead?
Use the running-pace calculator. It reports time per distance.
Is this the same as meters per second?
No. Divide km/h by 3.6 for m/s, or use the science velocity page with meters and seconds.
