This guide explains every fish you can catch in the Cursed Shores area of Fisch, what bait and rod setup works best for each, and how to unlock the area’s unique catch log. You enter the location, check the in-game bestiary for the 12 exclusive species, and use the tips below to complete it efficiently.

Formula

The average pace is the total time divided by the distance traveled:

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

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

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

Variables: Finish time in minutes, Distance in kilometers. If you measure distance in miles, convert to km by multiplying by 1.60934 before entering.

Worked Example

Using the default values: finish time = 50 minutes, distance = 10 km.

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

So a 10 km run in 50 minutes gives a pace of 5:00 per kilometer and an average speed of 12 km/h.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this tool for training runs, cycling routes, or any activity where you know the total time and distance. It gives you the pace you held and the average speed, which are the two numbers most fitness apps show. For a 5 km parkrun, a 30-minute finish gives 6:00 min/km and 10 km/h. For a marathon (42.195 km) in 4 hours (240 minutes), the pace is 5.69 min/km and the speed is 10.55 km/h.

Pace is the more useful number for runners because it translates directly to per-kilometer effort. Speed is more common for cyclists and drivers. Both are derived from the same two inputs, so you only need to measure time and distance accurately.

Common Mistakes

  • Mixing units: Entering distance in miles but expecting km/h results in a speed about 1.6× too high. Always convert miles to kilometers first.
  • Using seconds instead of minutes: If you time a 3,000-second run, convert to 50 minutes before entering. The calculator expects minutes.
  • Rounding too early: A pace of 5.67 min/km is not the same as 5 min 40 sec. The decimal minutes must be multiplied by 60 to get seconds (0.67 × 60 = 40 sec).
  • Negative or zero time: A finish time of 0 gives a division by zero error. The calculator rejects it.

Limits of the Formula

This is a simple average calculation. It does not account for elevation gain, rest stops, or varying effort. If you stop for 5 minutes during a run, your moving pace is faster than the average pace shown here. The formula assumes you are moving continuously for the entire time. For interval training, calculate each segment separately. For hilly routes, the average pace will be slower than flat-ground pace even at the same effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pace or speed more important for training?

Pace is more common for runners because it directly relates to effort per kilometer. Speed is more natural for cyclists and drivers. Both are mathematically equivalent, so choose the one you think in.

How do I convert my pace to seconds per kilometer?

Take the decimal part of the pace (e.g., 0.67 in 5.67) and multiply by 60. That gives 40 seconds. So 5.67 min/km is 5:40 per kilometer.

What if I know my speed but not my pace?

Enter the same distance and time, then read the pace output. The calculator gives both from the same inputs, so you never need to convert manually.

Can I use this for walking?

Yes. A typical walking pace is 12–15 min/km. Enter your walk time and distance, and the calculator will show your walking pace and speed.

Does elevation gain affect the calculation?

No. This formula only uses time and distance. Elevation gain changes your effort, but not the mathematical average pace. For a more accurate effort measure, look at heart rate or power data.
