How it works

Time = distance / speed. Walking 3 miles at 3 mph takes 1 hour.

A pace such as 20:00 per mile is converted to a speed first, so every unit gives the same answer.

The mile and kilometer use their exact definitions.

Formulas and details
  • Time = distance / speed.
  • Speed (mph) = 60 / pace (minutes per mile).

Assumptions

  • The speed is yours. The page does not assume one.
  • Hills, stops, crossings, the weather and how you feel change the real time.
  • The answer is a steady-speed estimate.

Example

Input: The starting values already in the form

Result: Walking 3 miles at 3 mph takes about 1 hour. That is 1:00:00 (hours:minutes:seconds when over an hour).
