Here we go:

A phase is 5sec. so there are 12 phases in a minute and 720 phases in an
hour.

Pace is measured in inches where one inch = 2 yds.
There are 1760 yds. in a mile or 880 "inches"


So your average joe with a pace of 7 could go:

720 phases	7 inches	1 mile
---------   X   --------   X    ------
1 hour		1 phase		880 inches

= 5.72 miles per hour

And 7 (pace) X 0.8 = 5.6

So a quick conversion is take their pace, multiply it by 0.8 and that
gives rough miles per hour (and as long as you apply it to everyone, it
all balances out).
