Laps in km/h

On the app and the Garmin website, laps of e.g. 1 km or 0.5 km, have a pace of minutes per km for the past 15 years (?). I would like to get the km/h for each lap. Now I have to calculate this myself using a spreadsheet, cumbersome as my runs always differ, from 3 km (very often) to 6 (often) to 42.5 (once a year) km. Esp. on the marathon the drop in speed on the last 10 km is "dramatic." This should be a small enhancement.

Why would you want to use speed over pace for running?

Pace is a much more convenient metric and gives you a better idea if you’re running the speed you’re aiming for.

For amateur runners like us, we want to know if we run around 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13 or 13.5 or 14 km/hours, and if we improve with training. E.g. when 4:30 minutes is reported, this translated to 13:33 km/h, this is not a nice number.

You are right, pace is much more convenient when it comes to running. But better idea for checking if you meet your aims? I doubt it, both speed and pace give you the speed, ones only the inversed speed, but differences are visible with both.
