get a watch. find a running track or measure the distance around the block with a scooter or so. then divide your time by the distance. say you run 2.1 miles in 15 minutes? – 15 min/2.1miles= a pace of 7.14 minutes/mile. (over 2.1 miles)

Response:

Hmm…i might be missing something, but running a mile and timing it might be a start. -jeff

Nope, you’re not missing anything, you’re just the first one to write what most of us were thinking…. Mike C

Now, now, boys. Let’s assume he meant for a 5K or some uneven distance. Speed = Time / distance  which has to be converted to minutes per mile. Say he ran a 5K in  27 minutes. S = 27 / 3.1 S = 8.7, which translates into about 8:42 minutes/mile. For times over an hour, be sure to use total minutes: ie 10 miles in 1 hr 30 mn: S = 90 / 10 S = 9 minute miles.

A veritable font of wisdom. Now if one were to increase mileage 10% per week, how many miles would s(he) have started at 4 weeks ago if the  mileage for this week…… No, wait, we’ve done that one already. Phew.

And to determine the number of seconds from the decimal you get in the end, you simply multiply it by 0.6   Sean Chester Vancouver Island, Canada – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hmm…i might be missing something, but running a mile and timing it might be a start. -jeff Nope, you’re not missing anything, you’re just the first one to write what most of us were thinking….
