How running pace is calculated
Pace is the time it takes to cover one unit of distance, usually minutes per kilometre or minutes per mile. Divide your total time by your distance to get it: a 10 km run in 50 minutes is 50 / 10 = 5:00 per km. One mile is 1.609344 km, so 5:00 per km is about 8:03 per mile. Speed is the same idea turned upside down: 60 divided by the pace in minutes per km gives km/h, so 5:00 per km is 12 km/h (about 7.5 mph). To find a finish time, multiply your pace by the distance. To find a distance, divide your time by your pace. The race table shows the time you would finish common distances in if you held this exact pace, which is a handy target for training and race day. Real races rarely stay perfectly even, so many runners aim for slightly slower early kilometres and finish strong.
Time calculator →Common questions
How do I calculate running pace?
Divide your time by your distance. A 5 km run in 25 minutes is 25 / 5 = 5:00 per kilometre.
How do I convert min/km to min/mile?
Multiply the pace per kilometre by 1.609344. A 5:00 per km pace is 8:03 per mile. The result shows both at once.
What is a good 5K or 10K pace?
It depends on experience and fitness. Many new runners finish a 5K in 30 to 35 minutes (6:00 to 7:00 per km). Use the race table to see what pace gets you a target time.
How do I find my finish time?
Pick Finish time, enter the distance and the pace you can hold, and the calculator multiplies them. The race table lists the usual distances for the same pace.
Can I use it for walking or cycling?
Yes. Pace and speed work for any steady effort, although cyclists usually think in km/h, which is shown in the result.
