Pace (current / average / lap) Definition

How long it takes you to cover a set distance, usually minutes per kilometre or per mile.

  • "Average" is across the whole run
  • "lap" is the current segment. For most runs, this is the current km or mile you're in so far
  • "current" is right now in that moment

So if on your run, it takes you 5 minutes to run an entire kilometre, then your average pace would look like: 5:00/km.

When it helps

It's useful at almost all times. If you're racing and aiming for a time, knowing what your average pace needs to be can really help you hit your goals for example.
