Ask the What Pace skill to calculate the run pace given a specific distance and finish time. You can also ask it to calculate the finish time, given the distance and a specific pace.
You can provide all the information in a single sentence via:
User: Alexa, ask What Pace to calculate pace for 26.2 miles in 4 hours. What Pace: Running 26.2 miles in 4 hours requires a pace of 9 minutes and 9 seconds per mile.
Yup, that is a mouthful. Want a more interactive style ? Try the following:
User: Alexa, ask What Pace to calculate pace. What Pace: Please specify distance. User: marathon. What Pace: Please specify total duration. User: 4 hours. What Pace: Running a marathon in 4 hours requires a pace of 9 minutes and 9 seconds per mile.
If you invoke What Pace with just the invocation phrase, it will begin by asking you to specify if you want to calculate pace or time and continue as in the example above.
User: Alexa, open What Pace. What Pace: Begin by saying: calculate pace, or, calculate time. User:Calculate pace. What Pace: Please specify distance. User: 10 kilometers. What Pace: Please specify total duration. User: 45 minutes. What Pace: Running 10 kilometers in 45 minutes requires a pace of 7 minutes and 14 seconds per mile.
Distances can be specified in miles, or kilometers. To make things easier, some popular run distances are recognized: "marathon", "half marathon".
During the interactive mode of What Pace, you can say "Help" to hear information and examples on how to specify the proper input. You can also say "Stop" to exit the skill.
At this time, the only pace unit supported is minutes per mile.
