When running, you can calculate your average pace, or time, required for running one mile.
Your running pace is measured as the time it takes you to run a mile, usually measured in minutes. This can be calculated as your best time for a mile lap on a track. If the track does not measure off an exact mile or only total time for multiple laps is measured, then your pace is extrapolated as an average. Average pace tends to be more common.
Instructions
1. Start your stopwatch when you begin running around a measured track.
2. Stop your stopwatch when you cross the finish line, and record your total time.
3. Multiply the number of laps by the track length to calculate your total distance. If you ran three laps around a 1-mile track, then you would have run three miles.
4. Divide your total time by your total distance to calculate your pace. In the example, if it took you 15 minutes to run the three miles, then you would divide 15 by 3 to calculate a pace of 5 minutes per mile.
