Why are knots used at sea and in aviation?

A knot equals one nautical mile per hour, and nautical miles relate directly to latitude degrees, making navigation calculations simpler.

What's a fast running pace in different units?

A 4-minute mile equals 6:26/km pace, or 24.14 km/h (15 mph). Elite marathon pace is about 5:00/km or 20 km/h (12.4 mph).

How do I quickly estimate km/h to mph?

Multiply km/h by 0.6 for a rough estimate. So 100 km/h ≈ 60 mph (exact: 62.14 mph).
