Running pace

I don't have any monitors for running pace and distance. I can't afford one right now either :/. So anyway I ran 2200 steps in 9 minutes. Can that help me in any way? Is there a possible formula I could use?

    If you know how big each step was, you could multiply by 2200 to get your distance. Do you have a smart phone with GPS? There are tons of running apps that will calculate your pace for you.

    Conversely, you could run a course with a set distance and see how long it takes.

    It would be easier to map your course online (mapmyrun will let you map a route) or drive the route with a car and figure distance than it would be to translate steps.

    I assume you don't have a smartphone. If you do there are tons of free apps.

    doesn't the C25k and Zombies! Run apps also track?
    and maybe Strava?

    Zombies, Run! does track mileage and pace, but it's not free. I think it's well worth the money, and am looking forward to the Season 4 episodes.
