What Units of Measure Does Runna Offer?

Runna offers a variety of units, so select the one that suits you best:

  • Minutes per kilometer (km/min)

  • Minutes per mile (mi/min)

  • Kilometers per hour (km/h) - treadmill only

  • Miles per hour (mi/h) - treadmill only


How to Change Your Unit of Measure

In order to make adjustments to your Unit of Measure, first head to Profile and click on Units of Measure. From here you'll be able to choose the Units of Measure that you want to follow, as well as choosing between 'running pace' or 'RPE' for guiding your training intensity.

To ensure your paces align correctly and your audio cues are delivered as expected, make sure your selected unit of measurement matches what’s displayed on your smartwatch (e.g. Garmin or COROS).


Default Units

By default, our plans are optimized for kilometers, so you may notice slight discrepancies in some workout distances if you’ve selected miles. If you’d like your plan to be fully optimized for miles, you can re-generate it by going to:


ProfileUnits of MeasureOptimized for Miles

We also convert your target paces, so you’ll receive workout details and audio cues in your chosen units (for example, “1.3mi @ 8:00/mi” instead of “2km @ 5:00/km”).


Units of Measure on the Treadmill

If you select the Treadmill option, distances will be shown in kilometres or miles, and speeds will be displayed in kph or mph. If you have a compatible treadmill, we can also automatically set speeds and inclines for you - you can check out this feature here.
