Blizzard Overwatch League Coronavirus Cancellation

Yes, Blizzard canceled the remainder of the 2020 Overwatch League season and replaced it with a series of online tournaments, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The league first suspended live matches in March 2020, then moved to a fully online format for the rest of the year, culminating in the Grand Finals played remotely in October 2020.

Formula

The calculator above works out your average pace and speed for a run, ride, or walk. Enter your finish time in minutes and the distance in kilometers. The average pace is the time it takes to cover one kilometer, calculated as:

Pace (min/km) = Total time (min) ÷ Distance (km)

The average speed is the distance divided by the time in hours:

Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) ÷ (Total time (min) ÷ 60)

Variables:

• t – total time in minutes (e.g., 50 min)
• d – distance in kilometers (e.g., 10 km)

Worked Example

Using the default values: t = 50 minutes, d = 10 km.

1. Pace = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.00 min/km
2. Speed = 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h

The calculator shows an average pace of 5.00 min/km and an average speed of 12.00 km/h.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this tool when you finish a run or ride and want to know your average pace per kilometer or mile. It is useful for training plans, comparing performances, or setting realistic goals for a race distance. For example, if you run 5 km in 30 minutes, your pace is 6:00 min/km, which is a common benchmark for recreational runners.

To convert to miles, multiply the distance in kilometers by 0.621371. For pace per mile, divide the total minutes by the distance in miles. The calculator assumes you enter time in minutes and distance in kilometers; if you have hours and minutes, convert to total minutes first (e.g., 1:15:00 = 75 minutes).

How to Read the Result

The pace output tells you how many minutes (and seconds if you look at the decimal) you take to cover one kilometer. A lower pace number means faster running. The speed output is the equivalent average velocity in kilometers per hour. For most runners, a pace between 5:00 and 7:00 min/km is common; elite runners go below 3:00 min/km.

If you run on a treadmill or track, the same formula applies. The calculator does not account for elevation gain, wind resistance, or rest stops—it only uses total time and distance, so the result is a simple average over the whole session.

Common Mistakes

• Mixing units: Entering distance in miles but time in minutes gives a pace per mile, but the calculator assumes kilometers. Convert miles to km first (miles × 1.60934).
• Forgetting to convert hours: If your time is 1 hour 10 minutes, you must enter 70 minutes, not 1.10.
• Rounding too early: The calculator rounds to two decimals, but for pacing during a race, you may want to see seconds. Multiply the decimal part by 60 to get seconds (e.g., 5.33 min/km = 5 min 20 sec).

Limitations of the Formula

This is a simple arithmetic average. It does not reflect variations in pace during the session—you might run faster at the start and slower at the end. It also assumes you moved continuously for the entire time; if you stopped for a traffic light or a water break, the average pace will be slower than your actual running pace. For interval training, use a dedicated split timer instead.

The formula is the standard definition of average pace and speed, used by most running apps and GPS watches. It is accurate for any distance or time, as long as you use consistent units.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert pace from min/km to min/mile?

Multiply the pace in min/km by 1.60934. For example, 5:00 min/km is about 8:03 per mile. Alternatively, divide the total minutes by the distance in miles directly.

What is a good running pace for a beginner?

A comfortable conversational pace for a beginner is often between 7:00 and 9:00 min/km (11:15 to 14:30 per mile). That corresponds to a speed of roughly 6.7 to 8.6 km/h. It depends on age, fitness, and terrain.

Does the calculator work for walking?

Yes. Walking pace is typically slower than 10 min/km (6 min/mile equivalent). The formula is the same—just enter your total time and distance.

Why does my GPS watch show a different pace?

GPS watches often show current pace (instantaneous) or moving pace, which excludes stops. This calculator gives the overall average including all time. Also, GPS distance may differ from the actual route distance due to signal errors.

Can I use this for cycling?

Yes, but cycling speeds are much higher, so the pace in min/km will be small (e.g., 2 min/km for 30 km/h). It works the same way, but most cyclists prefer speed over pace.
