I'm having trouble calculating the per mile pace in road races. Example: A runner runs a 6.2 mile (10k) race in forty four minutes and 13 seconds, given as 44:13. What is the average time (pace) per mile? Seems easy, but... Also, what if time is given as 44.13? This also needs to work for total times over one hour. I can do the calculations on paper but how do I get Excel to handle the colon and do the calculation?

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
In A1 put 5.2
In B1 put "Distance in Miles"
In B2 put "TIME"
IN A3 put "HOURS"
in B3 put "Minutes"
ic C3 put "Seconds"
in E3 put "MPH per Mile"
In e4 put =$A$1/((A4+(b4/60)+(c4/3600)))
Copy that down in E as far as needed
Then enter the time in a for hours b for minutes an c for seconds.

There is a difference of 5.2 seconds between 44:13 and 44.13

Check this out on paper and see if it works.
