Treadmill mph and pace

[Deleted User]

Hi All,

I've recently got myself a treadmill to get me through these winter months - I live high up on Exmoor and winter conditions can sometimes be a little difficult off road!
Does anyone know of a nice simple table which converts mph into mile/min pace? I know I should be able to do this myself but primary school was a long time ago.

Thanks,

Jason

60 divided by the speed (multiply the .whatever by 60 to get the seconds)

ie

8mph

60/8= 7.5 (.5 * 60= 30)

8mph = 7minutes 30 secs min/mile pace.

Pace (min/mile) = 60 (minutes in an hour) / Speed (miles/hour)

I've put the units in so you can see the hours cancel, and the units are correct

so take the reading in mph (e.g. 10) then do 60/10 = 6
your answer is 6 minute miling

This is all you need...

Thanks All,

I'd managed to work out the nice simple ones but it was a severe case of brain disuse atrophy with the fractions of minutes. And now it all looks so obvious....

Pantman, thanks very much for the link - exactly what I needed.

That's useful. Just need one in km now.

How many km EXACTLY is there in one mile? I always just say 1.61, but need to know exactly to convert it. Ta

1.60935

(to the nearest cm!)

miles to km = divide by 5 multiply by 8

6 miles / 5 = 1.2 * 8 = 9.6 km

Ignore the incline stuff, it's all nonsense.

Exactly 1760 yards in a mile.
1 yard = exactly 36 inches.
1 inch = exactly 25.4 mm = 0.0254m.

so 1760 x 36 x 0.0254 = 1.609344km EXACTLY

ta everyone. I'll just write these down in my training diary for future ref now.
