Pace vs. Speed: What is the Difference?
While speed measures how much distance you cover over time (e.g., kilometers per hour), Pace measures how much time it takes to complete a fixed distance unit (e.g., minutes per kilometer or minutes per mile).
| Metric | Format | Common Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | Minutes per km / mile (min/km) | Running, jogging, track workouts, marathon planning |
| Speed | Kilometers / Miles per hour (km/h, mph) | Treadmill settings, cycling, sprinting |
