You may want to convert some of the time units.

--

R, the runner's rate or speed
T, the runner's time
D, runner's distance of 26.2 miles

, but decide if you want time in minutes, or in hours.
You would use one or both of these:
60 minutes is 1 hour;
60 seconds is 1 minute;

If you want the rate as MILES per MINUTES, then

Now
