Understanding Running Pace
Running pace is the inverse of speed, measuring time per unit distance rather than distance per unit time. It's the preferred metric for runners as it directly relates to race finish times.
For example, a 5:00 min/km pace means you run each kilometer in 5 minutes. Over a 10 km race, this translates to a 50-minute finish time.
Common race paces: 5K (4:00-6:00 min/km), 10K (4:30-6:30 min/km), Half Marathon (5:00-7:00 min/km), Marathon (5:30-7:30 min/km).
