These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the website and its calculator tools.
Description of Service
Running Pace Calculator provides free online calculator tools for runners. The service includes:
- Pace calculation (calculating pace from time and distance)
- Race time prediction (estimating finish times based on pace)
- Split table generation (creating mile-by-mile race plans)
- Unit conversion (converting between metric and imperial units)
- Informational articles about running pace and training
The service is provided free of charge. No account registration is required. The calculators are accessible via any modern web browser with JavaScript enabled.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The calculator tools and content on this website are provided for informational purposes only. All calculations are estimates based on mathematical formulas and should be treated as guidelines, not guarantees.
Running Pace Calculator does not provide:
- Medical advice
- Professional athletic coaching
- Health or fitness recommendations
- Diagnosis or treatment of any condition
Always consult with qualified professionals (physicians, coaches, trainers) before making decisions about your training or health. Calculator results should be verified and used in conjunction with professional guidance, especially for important races or training decisions.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Running Pace Calculator and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from:
- Your use of or inability to use the calculator tools
- Any decisions, actions, or outcomes based on calculator results
- Race performance that differs from calculated predictions
- Training plans developed using our tools
- Any errors or inaccuracies in calculations
- Interruption or unavailability of the service
You use this website and its tools at your own risk. You are solely responsible for any decisions made based on calculator results.
Accuracy
We strive for accuracy in all calculations. Our calculators use established mathematical formulas that are standard in the running community:
- Pace = Time ÷ Distance
- 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers (international standard)
- Official race distances as defined by World Athletics
However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of any results. Actual running performance depends on many factors not captured in simple pace calculations, including fitness level, weather conditions, terrain, nutrition, and individual physiology.
Formulas and reference data used in our calculations are documented on the About page.
