Unit system
Metric and imperial units in Runtool — what the setting controls and where to change it.
Runtool displays every pace and distance in either metric or imperial units. The setting lives in Settings → Calendar → Unit system for each athlete workspace.
What the setting controls
| Value | Metric | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | km, m | mi, yd |
| Pace | min/km | min/mi |
| Speed | km/h | mph |
| Elevation | m | ft |
The unit system applies everywhere in the workspace: workout targets, zone tables, completion data, and charts. When you type a workout you can use either system — 8x1km / 200m or 4x1mi / 0.25mi — and Runtool displays the result in the workspace's unit system. See Workout notation for the full syntax.
Per-athlete, not per-account
The unit system is a workspace preference — it belongs to the athlete, not to whoever is looking. A coach with athletes in both systems sees each workspace in that athlete's units. See Athlete settings for how workspace preferences scope.
