When you use AllTrails to navigate your adventures, you'll have data automatically tied to your activity including total distance, total elevation gain, total moving time, and estimated calories burned. You can choose between Pace and Speed settings as your preference to be displayed while navigating.
By default, your Activity Time Preference is set to display Pace. Pace is the average of how long it takes you to go a given distance. If you have an average pace of 19:55, that means it took you on average 19 minutes and 55 seconds to travel one mile (or km, depending on your unit settings).
You have the ability to change this setting to measure speed instead. Speed is how far you move in a given time. So if you see an average speed of 3.0 mph (or kmph, depending on your unit settings), that means that in a given hour you'll travel 3 miles.
You can change your pace or speed settings by following these steps:
Via desktop or laptop:
- Log into your account
- At the top right of any page, hover over your profile image and in the dropdown select Settings
- Find the 'Activity Time Preference' section
- The default setting is Pace — if you’d like to switch to Speed, simply click the button next to it or vice versa
- At the bottom of the page, click 'Save'
Via iPhone or Android app:
- Tap 'Profile' on the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the Settings gear icon at the top right corner
- Tap 'Activity Time Preference'
- Select 'Pace' or 'Speed'
