Kilometers to miles and miles to km. Handy when you're planning a road trip abroad, squinting at European distance signs, or figuring out your running pace in the other unit.
Kilometers and Miles: Know the Difference
You rent a car in France and the speedometer says 120. Panic? Nope — that's km/h, basically 75 mph. Only the US, UK (sometimes), and Myanmar still use miles. The rest of the planet runs on kilometers. Travel even a little and you'll need this km to miles conversion more than you'd think.
Distances Runners Should Know
5K = 3.1 miles. 10K = 6.2 miles. Half marathon = 21.1 km / 13.1 miles. Full marathon = 42.195 km / 26.2 miles. Your Strava shows km but your running buddy talks miles? Or the other way around? Takes two seconds to convert here.
