Running Pace Calculator

Calculates your running pace in minutes per kilometer and minutes per mile from a distance and total time.

This calculator provides an estimate for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional financial, medical, engineering or legal advice.

This calculator divides your total running time by the distance covered to find your average pace, reported in both minutes per kilometer and minutes per mile so you can compare against training plans or race splits given in either unit. It's a standard tool for runners checking a workout's average pace, planning a target pace for an upcoming race, or converting a pace between metric and imperial distance units.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Pace per Kilometer ≈ 5 min/km; Pace per Mile ≈ 8.05 min/mile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I read the pace figures?

The number is minutes per unit distance, so a pace of 5.5 min/km means you covered each kilometer in about 5 minutes 30 seconds on average.

Does this give an average pace or split-by-split pace?

This gives your overall average pace across the whole run; splits (pace for individual segments) would need to be calculated separately for each segment's own distance and time.
