track our pace/mph from distance & time?

[Kar43]

Can we track what our mph was during a run from the amount of steps that we took and time it took?

Basically I was on 6,500 steps as I started my run of 10 minute run, 3 minute walk, 10 minute run.

I finished on 10,050.

Is there any way of working it out?

If you know your stride length you could multiply it up but it will be slightly different for the walking sections and running sections so not very accurate. Once you know the distance you can divide it by the time to get your speed. Or you can download an app like mapmyrun or strava (both free) take your phone with you and let it do all that for you by gps. Or get a running watch with gps functionality. Hope that helps.

Ah thanks. I don't know my stride lengths

Ok. If you have a Fitbit this might help.

If you do have a Fitbit, I posted recently to someone else on how to track a run.

Do you want me to find it for you?

Hi rob I'm just installing strava see how that goes.

I had a link sent as I got Fitbit but setting were for all other Fitbit types. Mines a Fitbit flex 2 and to track stride etc was for other Fitbit models

If you use google maps or google earth you can measure the route you took. Then you know how many km’s you did and you can figure out your min/km.

So if you did 1.6km in 13 minutes it would be:

13min/1.6km = 8.12min/km

To get seconds from the decimal places:

12/60 = 20

Pace of 8:20 /km

Oh right, I'm still a bit stuck though 🙄heats got to me I think 😉.

Totally forgot I took snap shot just before and as I finished my run.

So Ive worked out I did 2.56k with twenty minute run and 3 minutes of walking.

[Amandana in reply to Kar43]

Sorry my math on the seconds in my example above was wrong. In the example I gave above to get seconds out of the 0.12 minutes, 0.12x60= 7.2 seconds, so the pace should have been 8:07/km

For your run:

23min/2.56k = 8.98min/km

For the seconds = 0.98x60=59

So your pace was 8:59/km.

The sums are making my head hurt. If you've got a smartphone you cld install the free version of Strava and it will give you loads of numbers. Seems pretty accurate from what other folk say x

[Kar43 in reply to sallenson]

Mine too so I'm just installing strava ✅
