Work out track split time instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The even lap split is the target time divided by the number of laps, and average speed is race distance over race time in metres per second. Track racing is won on pace discipline, and a four minute mile is simply four consecutive 60 second laps, which is far easier to execute than to feel.
Lap split
lap split = target time / (race distance / lap length)
Average speed
speed = distance / time
lap split = target time / (race distance / lap length). The even lap split is the target time divided by the number of laps, and average speed is race distance over race time in metres per second.
