What do you need to calculate running distance?

To calculate the distance you need the pace you ran at and the duration of your training run or race. The four most common distances for road running events are 5 km, 10 km, half marathon (21.1 km) and marathon (42.2 km). There are also events for athletes with a high endurance level called ultramarathons. The distances are 50 km (31 mi), 100 km (62.1 mi), 50 mi (80.5 km), and 100 mi, although many ultramarathons have other distances.
