Methodology
How the Marathon calculator works
- The calculator converts 42.195 kilometres into kilometres and miles, then divides finish time by distance to calculate pace.
- Speed values are calculated from distance over total time and displayed in km/h and mph.
- Split and comparison outputs use the same distance source so related calculator modes stay consistent.
