Average pace calculation

Hi Sumit

Pace is different to speed, so the figure will not match the speed measurement displayed on your treadmill.

Instead, pace shows how long - in minutes and seconds - it will presently take you to travel one mile or kilometre (depending upon which distance unit you have chosen to use) if you continue to walk or run at the same speed.

For example, the Workout app screenshot below shows a pace of 9 minutes and 24 seconds per mile (the ' and " symbols indicate time in minutes and seconds, not distance):

Hi,

"DItto for my indoor runs. The speed never matches with my treadmill.

I Don't understand how this calculation is done. Can someone please explain??"

Get the best measurement

Your Apple Watch will estimate your measurements during workouts based on the information that you entered during setup, but you can also further improve its accuracy using these tips:

• Wear your Apple Watch regularly to improve the accuracy of the Activity and Workout apps.
• Choose the workout that best matches what you’re doing. For example, if you're running on a treadmill, choose Indoor Run.
• For GPS accuracy when you walk, run, or cycle outdoors, select the appropriate Workout and bring your iPhone.* For indoor and outdoor walking and running, this will also help calibrate the accelerometer in Apple Watch for times when you don’t have GPS.
• To get the most accurate heart rate measurement when you use Workout, make sure your Apple Watch fitssnugly on top of your wrist. The heart rate sensor should stay close to your skin.
• You can also use another heart rate monitoring device, such as a chest strap. Learn how to pair a heart rate monitor with your Apple Watch.
• Learn more about the Apple Watch heart rate sensor, its accuracy, and its limitations.

* For GPS accuracy, you can also calibrate your Apple Watch.

Use the Workout app on your Apple Watch

I walked total 34 minutes And covered 1.34 miles. The avg pace it shows is 25'25" MI which is quite wrong.

To take your example: your pace here was reported as 25 minutes and 25 seconds per mile, which is correct.

You're welcome! 🙂
