I’m new to Garmin and can’t figure out what the pace data represents.

I walked and had a pace of 12:47 /km

km/h wouldn’t make sense, because 12 km/h would be too fast for walking.

What do the numbers mean?

    It’s a popular way to compare times in races. It is a bit more meaningful to compare total times than speeds.

        It’s also much easier to convert your race time to a pace by using this format. If I complete a 5k in 40 minutes, that’s 40/5 = 8 minutes per kilometer.
