Frequently asked questions

What is a good running pace?

Many recreational runners run between 5:30 and 7:00 min/km on easy runs. Your pace depends on fitness, terrain and goal.

How accurate are the predicted race times?

The Riegel formula is a well-known estimate. It works best between similar distances and when you have trained for the longer race.

How do I convert km/h into pace?

Divide 60 by your speed: 12 km/h equals a pace of 5:00 min/km.
