How to format my data to a duration displaying mm:ss

I've been looking at the documentation for some time now and i can't seem to figure it out:
I'm trying to enter my pace (in minutes per kilometer), and i've tried:
duration(a,'InputFormat','mm:ss');
where
a = {'5:45', '5:45', '4:57', '5:06'}
but it still shows me the pace in hh:mm:ss
ex:
ans =
1×4 duration array
00:05:45 00:05:45 00:04:57 00:05:06
How do I make it display as 5:45 (or 05:45)?

 Accepted Answer

a = {'5:45', '5:45', '4:57', '5:06'}
a = duration(a,'InputFormat','mm:ss');
a.Format = "mm:ss"
