Pace measures how much time you spend to cover a unit of distance, commonly expressed as minutes per mile or per kilometer. It is the inverse of speed, which indicates the distance covered over time.

The calculator also includes multipoint functionality, letting you analyze pace over segments during a run or ride by inputting split times and distances. This fine-grained analysis helps identify strengths and areas for improvement by comparing paces across laps or route segments.

For race day strategy, the finish time calculator estimates expected completion time based on current distance and elapsed time. This is useful for pacing yourself effectively throughout an event.

Beyond pace, heart rate monitoring complements training by indicating exercise intensity. Resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, and heart rate zones help tailor workouts for fat burning, endurance, speed, or recovery.

Understanding aerobic vs anaerobic exercise intensity is important: aerobic uses oxygen for sustained activity at moderate pace, while anaerobic involves short bursts near maximal effort, leading to lactate buildup and fatigue.

Using pace and heart rate data together enables smarter, more efficient training, helping athletes improve performance, avoid burnout, and reach their fitness goals effectively.
