Run–walk distance plan
Mistake: Counting a full final cycle after the session time has ended.
Fix: Use the calculated actual run and walk durations; the final phase is shortened.

How it works
Estimate distance for alternating timed run and walk phases, including an unfinished last phase.
D = tᵣ / pᵣ + t𝓌 / p𝓌
Fixed paces and phase lengths are assumed. No warm-up, stops, terrain or fitness advice. Paces must be positive; slower means a larger pace number. Maximum 10000 phases. Works offline after loading.

About this tool
Use tool ↑Estimate distance for alternating timed run and walk phases, including an unfinished last phase.
Begin with a run phase, then alternate run and walk. Distance in each phase is its minutes divided by its minutes-per-distance pace. Stop exactly at the selected total duration, shortening the final phase if needed.
