Pace Calculator

Calculate running pace per mile and per kilometer, speed, and predicted 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon times.

How pace is calculated

Pace = time ÷ distance, shown as minutes per mile or per kilometer. Speed = distance ÷ time. Example: 5 miles in 40:00 is a pace of 8:00 per mile (4:58 per km), or 7.5 mph. Predicted race times assume you hold the same pace for the whole distance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate running pace?

Divide your total time by your distance. 40 minutes for 5 miles is 8 minutes per mile.

How do I convert pace per mile to per kilometer?

Divide the minutes per mile by 1.609. An 8:00 mile is about 4:58 per kilometer.

Are the race predictions accurate?

They assume a constant pace. In reality pace slows over longer distances, so longer-race times are optimistic.
