Pace (current / average / lap) Definition
How long it takes you to cover a set distance, usually shown as minutes per kilometre or mile. Average pace covers the whole run, lap pace covers the current segment, and current pace is your speed right now.
When it helps
Most of the time. The average and lap figures stop you setting off too fast.
When it doesn't
On very hilly or trail runs, where pace swings wildly and effort is the better thing to watch.
