What this calculator does

Use the pace calculator to turn a race time and distance into pace per kilometre and pace per mile. It is useful for training plans, race goals and workout comparisons.

Formula used

Pace equals total time divided by distance. The calculator converts the same time into minutes per kilometre and minutes per mile.

How to read the result

Pace varies with route, weather, elevation and effort. For training, compare similar conditions rather than treating every run as an equal test.

Assumptions

  • Distance input is in kilometres.
  • Uses 1 kilometre equals 0.621371 miles.
  • Does not adjust for terrain, elevation or pauses.
