Running Pace Calculator
Calculate running pace (min/km and min/mile) and speed from distance and time.
The Running Pace Calculator converts your distance and time into pace and speed metrics. Whether you are training for a 5K or a marathon, knowing your pace helps you plan your runs and track improvement.
Enter the distance in kilometers and total time in minutes. The calculator provides your pace in minutes per kilometer and minutes per mile, plus your speed in km/h and mph.
Common race paces: beginner 5K = 7-8 min/km, intermediate 10K = 5-6 min/km, advanced marathon = 4-5 min/km, elite marathon = ~3 min/km.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good running pace?
It depends on experience. A 6 min/km pace is good for recreational runners, 5 min/km for intermediate, and sub-4 min/km for competitive athletes.
How do I convert pace to speed?
Speed (km/h) = 60 / pace (min/km). For example, a 5 min/km pace equals 12 km/h.
What is negative splitting?
Running the second half of a race faster than the first. This is considered optimal race strategy for experienced runners.
