1. What is MPH?

MPH stands for miles per hour, a unit of speed expressing the number of miles traveled in one hour. It's commonly used to measure running, walking, or driving speed.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• 60 — Number of minutes in an hour
• Mile Time — Time taken to complete one mile in minutes

Explanation: The formula converts your pace (time per mile) into speed (miles per hour).

3. Importance of MPH Calculation

Details: Knowing your MPH helps runners and walkers track their speed over time, set training goals, and compare performance across different distances.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your mile time in minutes (e.g., 8.5 for 8 minutes 30 seconds). The value must be greater than 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for constant speed. Actual running speed may vary during a mile.

Q2: What's a good MPH for running?
A: Average jogging speed is 4-6 mph (10-15 min/mile). Competitive runners often exceed 10 mph (6 min/mile).

Q3: Can I use this for walking?
A: Yes, typical walking speeds range from 3-4 mph (15-20 min/mile).

Q4: How does this compare to km/h?
A: 1 mph = 1.60934 km/h. Multiply MPH by 1.609 to convert to km/h.

Q5: What if my mile time is in minutes:seconds?
A: Convert to decimal minutes first (e.g., 8:30 = 8.5 minutes).
