Pace

Syntax

Pace distance[K]

Parameters

  • distance: The distance of the race.
  • K: Optional. If the distance is in kilometers, append 'K' (e.g., 20K). The output pace will be per mile. If 'K' is omitted, the distance is assumed to be in miles, and the output pace will be per mile. If 'K' is omitted and you want pace per kilometer, specify the distance in kilometers (e.g., 20).

Description

Calculates and displays the average pace (time per unit distance) based on the runner's time and the specified race distance.

Remarks

This command must follow an Event command that provides the time. By default, pace is calculated per mile. To get pace per kilometer for a metric race, omit the 'K' suffix. See the Rate command for calculating speed (distance per unit time).

Examples

To calculate pace per mile for a 20 km race:

Event TIME
Pace 20K

To calculate pace per mile for a 12.4274 mile race:
