Pace wrong? (Read 873 times)

    Today I ran 7 miles in 48:55 on runningahead it said it was a 7:00 pace. Knowing it wasn't true, I thought that maybe it rounded up to 7:00 pace. On coolrunning.com I used a running calculator that says it was 6:59.2 pace. Does anyone know why runningahead says 7:00?
      Because it rounds up.
        Because it rounds up.

         well if it was 6:59.2 wouldnt it be closer to 6:59 than 7 to round?

          I'm touching your pants.

            I farted but my scale says I weigh the same.  Do I need a new scale?

               well if it was 6:59.2 wouldnt it be closer to 6:59 than 7 to round?

               
              If you ran a single mile in 4:00.2 , would you say you ran a 4:00 mile?  No.  Same thought process as to why it's appropriate to round up.

                  You are concerned about 0.8 secs per mile?  That might have concerned Roger Bannister... but shouldn't really bother you - should it?

                         I ran a 4:54 in high school with no training at all and lots of crappy food. Now, I just need to get back to that weight and maybe I can get back down around 6 min/mi (well I can, but I am not going to be going a step further).

                          But I like it.

                          We've Got Big Hills

                            I like monkeys.

                            The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that
                            odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to
                            look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys.

                            I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His
                            name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really
                            bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed.
                            Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.

                            I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new
                            environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at
                            high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the
                            spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.

                            Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive:
                            they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead.
                            Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn
                            cheap monkeys.

                            I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all over my
                            room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked
                            like I had 200 throw rugs.

                            I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck.
                            Then I had one dead, wet monkey and 199 dead, dry monkeys.

                            I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for
                            a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real
                            bad.

                            I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in the toilet and I didn't want
                            to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.

                            I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately
                            there was only enough room for two monkeys at a time so I had to change
                            them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so
                            it didn't all go bad.

                            I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to
                            extinguish the fire.

                            Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in
                            my freezer, and 197 dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor
                            wasn't improving.

                            I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my monkeys and to use the
                            bathroom. I severely beat one of my monkeys. I felt better.

                            I tried throwing them way but the garbage man said that the city wasn't
                            allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet
                            one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the
                            frozen ones.

                            I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My
                            friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like
                            them but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in
                            the genitals.

                            I like monkeys.

                             

                               

                              That is a pretty random thought in this thread.

                               

                              But I like it.

                               

                              And tacos.

                               I had a wheat soft shell taco last night

                                RunningAhead likes to round.  I did intervals last night.  I tried to put in .125 miles for each loop because that is how long each loop was.  It kept rounding to .13.  In my case, it made me look faster on each loop, but it still said my total distance was 3 miles (which was correct).  Ah well.
