Race times

How do I calculate minutes per mile, minutes per Kilometer, etc in Excel?

Minutes per mile.........

=((StopTime-StartTime)*1440)/miles

Either I did not enter the calculation correctly or asked the question wrong.
Examples of what I want to figure:
(Cell A1) Distance: 3200 meters or 3.2 kilometers
(B1) Time: 13 minutes, 02 seconds
(C1) Pace: I want to calculate my pace per mile and my pace per 400 meters

(Cell A2) Distance: 2 Miles
(B2) Time: 6 minutes, 41 seconds
(C2) Pace: I want to calculate my pace per mile and my pace per 400 meters

Hi!

Chuck gave you a precise answer to your first question so, as you surmise, the question wasn't all it needed to be.

Now you introduce the concept of pace. My understanding is it has 2 relevant meanings:

a pace is a step or stride;
pace is speed.

The first (probably irrelevant) oddly enough fits the wording of your question quite well: how many paces per kilometre is a perfectly valid concept. Answer is a pure number and needs the length of your stride to evaluate it.

Pace as speed will be expressed in units like kilometres per hour; yards per minute or whatever. Clearly not your objective.

So I'm left thinking you actually want to find your time for various distances.

Back to simple proportion: if it takes 13 min 02 sec to run 3.2 km we can find the corresponding times for a mile or 400 metres thus:

A1 has 3.2 and B1 has 13 and C1 has 2 (respectively km, min and sec)
D1 =B1*60+C1 (convert to seconds)
E1 =(0.4/A1)*D1 (0.4 is 400 m or 0.4 km: answer is in seconds)
F1 =int(E1/60) & "min " & E1-60*int(E1/60) & "sec"

To get the time for 1 mile, you could substitute the no. of metres in a mile instead of 0.4 in the formula in E1. A suitable value would be CONVERT(1,"mi","m")(literally convert 1 mile to metres) or about 1609.

This might help with the mile pace, but you will have to do the 400m on your
own. This a formula from Thinman's running log, avail on his website.

(A1) 3.20 distance
(B1) 0:13:02 time
(C1) =B1/A1 minutes per kilometre
(D1) =C1/10*4 time per 400 metres

hope this helps
