Race pace FAQ

How does this running pace calculator predict race times?

+

It uses the Riegel formula, a widely used model that scales a recent race time to a new distance. It assumes similar training and conditions, so predictions for much longer races, especially the marathon, tend to be optimistic without the endurance training to match.

What is a negative split?

+

Running the second half of a race faster than the first. This calculator sets a gentle negative split, starting about 1% slower than your average pace and finishing about 1% faster, which many runners find easier to hold than going out hard.

Should I pace in kilometres or miles?

+

Use whatever your watch and the race markers show. UK races often mark miles, while most of the world uses kilometres. Switch between the two and the splits update instantly.

How do I use a goal time?

+

Choose "A goal time", enter your target and pick the race. You will get the pace per km and per mile, your halfway split and every split to the finish.

Can I print my splits?

+

Yes. Use Print my splits to get a clean copy of your pace and splits for race day.
