What this experiment does

This experiment estimates time-on-feet from weekly volume and a typical easy pace, then multiplies across years.

It also shows a playful share of waking life — assuming 16 waking hours per day.

How it works

Weekly hours = weekly km × seconds per km ÷ 3600. Lifetime hours = weekly hours × 52 × years. Days = hours ÷ 24.

Assumes every week looks like the week you entered. Vacations, taper weeks, and sofa time are not modelled.

Frequently asked questions

Why easy pace?

Most lifetime volume is easy running. Use a representative easy pace, not your 5K PR, for a fairer estimate.

Is waking-life percent exact?

No. It assumes 16 waking hours per day for a playful comparison only.
