Because it rounds up.
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.

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

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

None of these guys are going to run a 4 minute mile eating all this rubbish.
2012
3000 miles
Break 1:30:00 for half marathon
Break 40:00 for 10K
But that wouldn't be rounding UP, would it?
2012 Goals:
5k = sub 22:00
10k = sub 45:00
HM = sub 1:40:00
Run = 2000 miles
Bike = 3000 miles
Swim = 130 miles
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).
That is a pretty random thought in this thread.
But I like it.
And tacos.
