Pace Calculator

To calculate your running pace:

• Select "Pace" as the calculation mode
• Enter the distance you ran (in miles, kilometers, or meters)
• Enter the total time it took (hours, minutes, seconds)
• Click Calculate to see your pace per mile or per kilometer

For example, if you ran 5 miles in 45 minutes, your pace would be 9:00 per mile.

Pace and speed are related but expressed differently:

• Pace is measured in minutes per mile (or km) - how long it takes to cover one unit of distance
• Speed is measured in miles per hour (or km/h) - how much distance you cover in one hour

Runners typically use pace for training, while speed is common in cycling and other sports.

This calculator is great for race planning:

• Use "Calculate Time" mode to predict your finish time based on your target pace
• Use "Calculate Pace" to find the required pace for your goal time
• Check the splits section to plan your mile or kilometer markers

Common race distances: 5K (3.1 mi), 10K (6.2 mi), Half Marathon (13.1 mi), Marathon (26.2 mi).

Splits are the cumulative times at each mile or kilometer marker during your run:

• They help you maintain a consistent pace during training and races
• Negative splits (running faster in the second half) are often recommended for racing
• Tracking splits can help identify where you slow down or speed up

Use our splits display to create a pacing chart for your next race.
