1. What is the Half Marathon Mile Time Calculator?

The Half Marathon Mile Time Calculator determines your average pace per mile based on your total half marathon time. This helps runners plan and evaluate their performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Time_{mile} \) — Average time per mile (minutes/mile)
• \( TotalTime \) — Total half marathon time (minutes)
• 13.1094 — Standard distance of half marathon in miles

Explanation: The equation divides your total time by the distance to get your average pace per mile.

3. Importance of Pace Calculation

Details: Knowing your average mile pace helps with training planning, race strategy, and performance evaluation for future races.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total half marathon time in minutes. The value must be greater than 0.
