Showtime on Paramount Plus: How Streaming Works

Yes, Showtime original series are available to stream on Paramount Plus, but only if you subscribe to the Paramount+ with Showtime plan (now called the Paramount+ Premium tier). This plan bundles the entire Showtime library—including its original series, movies, and documentaries—with all of Paramount+’s own content in one app. If you are on the base Paramount+ Essential or Paramount+ with Showtime legacy plans, your access to Showtime originals will differ, so here is exactly how it works in 2025.

Formula

The calculator above works out your average pace and speed for a run, walk, or ride. The formula for pace is:

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

Speed is the inverse:

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

Where:

• t = total time in minutes (e.g., 50 minutes)
• d = distance in kilometers (e.g., 10 km)
• Pace = minutes per kilometer, the standard unit for runners
• Speed = kilometers per hour, the standard unit for vehicles and cyclists

Worked Example

Using the default values from the calculator (50 minutes, 10 km):

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

So a 50-minute, 10-kilometer run means you averaged 5 minutes per kilometer, or 12 kilometers per hour. The calculator rounds both to two decimal places.

Why This Matters for Training

Pace is the most common metric for runners because it translates directly to how fast you are moving relative to a target finish time. If you want to finish a 10K in under 50 minutes, you need to hold a pace faster than 5:00 min/km. Speed in km/h is more familiar to cyclists and drivers, but for runners, pace is easier to gauge on the fly because it tells you how many minutes until the next kilometer marker.

For interval training, knowing your current pace helps you adjust effort in real time. For example, if your workout calls for 400-meter repeats at 4:30 min/km, you can check each split to see if you are too fast or too slow.

Common Mistakes and Unit Mix-Ups

The most frequent error is mixing minutes and seconds. If you record a time of 50 minutes and 30 seconds, you must convert to decimal minutes (50.5) before dividing. The calculator above expects total minutes in decimal form. Another common mistake is using miles when the formula expects kilometers. To convert miles to kilometers, multiply by 1.60934. For instance, a 5-mile run is 8.05 km, not 5 km. Always check the unit of your distance before entering it.

Rounding too early can also skew results. If you round 50.5 ÷ 10 to 5.1 min/km, that is fine, but if you round the time to 50 minutes first, you lose the 30 seconds. Keep at least one decimal place in your inputs for accuracy.

How to Read Your Results

A pace of 5.00 min/km means you cover one kilometer every five minutes. Lower numbers are faster. A pace of 4:30 min/km is quicker than 5:00 min/km. Speed works the opposite way: higher km/h is faster. For a 10K race, a 5:00 min/km pace yields a finish time of 50 minutes. For a half marathon (21.1 km), the same pace gives 105.5 minutes, or 1:45:30.

If you train on a treadmill, the display usually shows speed in km/h. To convert your treadmill speed to pace, use the same formula: pace = 60 ÷ speed. For example, 12 km/h equals 5.00 min/km.

Limitations of the Formula

This formula assumes constant speed. In real runs, you speed up and slow down due to hills, traffic, fatigue, or wind. The result is your average pace, not your instantaneous pace at any given moment. It also ignores elevation gain. Running 10 km uphill at 5:00 min/km pace is far more demanding than doing it on flat ground, but the formula treats them identically. For accurate training zones, consider using a heart rate monitor or power meter, which capture effort rather than just speed.

The formula also assumes you are moving forward continuously. If you stop for water or traffic lights, those stops are included in your total time, which lowers your average pace. Some runners prefer to track moving time separately to exclude stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good pace for a beginner?

A comfortable jogging pace for a beginner is typically between 6:00 and 7:30 min/km (8–10 km/h). Walking pace is usually 10–12 min/km (5–6 km/h). The “good” pace depends on age, fitness, and experience, so focus on maintaining a conversation rather than hitting a specific number.

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

Multiply the min/km value by 1.60934. For example, 5:00 min/km becomes 8:03 per mile. Or use the formula: pace per mile = pace per km × 1.60934. The calculator above only works in kilometers, so convert your distance to miles first if needed.

Does the calculator work for walking?

Yes, the same formula applies to walking. Enter your total walking time and distance, and it will give your average pace and speed. Walking pace is typically 10–12 min/km, which is slower than running but perfectly valid.

Why does my GPS watch show a different pace?

GPS watches usually show current pace, which fluctuates second by second, or average pace based on moving time. If you stop for a break, your watch may exclude those stops while the calculator includes them. Also, GPS distance can be slightly off due to signal loss or turns, which affects your average pace calculation.

Can I use this for cycling?

Yes, but cyclists typically use speed in km/h rather than pace. The speed output is useful for cycling. However, for cycling, wind resistance and elevation play a larger role, so your average speed may vary more than running pace.
