Estimate based on the entered values. Accuracy and limitations
How to use this calculator
- Enter the quantities in the units printed on each field.
- Use your own measured step length whenever a step length is requested.
- Read the calculated result, then change an input to compare a different scenario.
Formula and calculation method
Pace = 60 ÷ speed. Session steps = speed × time ÷ step length, after unit conversion.
1 mile = 1,609.344 m; 1 foot = 0.3048 m; 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Steps are rounded to whole counts; other displayed values normally use two decimal places.
Worked example
6 km/h is 10 min/km; 30 minutes covers 3 km.
Accuracy and limitations
Belt calibration and changes in step length affect the estimate.
