Calculation process of conversion value

1 knot = `((1852/3600)) / (3.94)` = 0.13056965595037 running speed
1 running speed = `(3.94) / ((1852/3600))` = 7.658747300216 knot
? knot × `((1852/3600) ("m/s"/"knot")) / (3.94 ("m/s"/"running speed"))` = ? running speed

High precision conversion

If conversion between knot to metre-per-second and metre-per-second to running speed is exactly definied, high precision conversion from knot to running speed is enabled.

Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!

Convert Running speed to other unit:

running speed

Definition of running speed unit: ≈ 800 m / 3' 23". Running speed can be very variable, depending on several factors. As a basis for calculation, I calculated average young adult men's 800 metres long run time as defined by topendsport.com. This time is on average 3 minutes and 23 seconds. From this, the running speed is 3.94 m/s (about 14.2 km/h).
