How to Use
What is pace? Pace is the time it takes to cover a unit of distance (usually 1 km or 1 mile). For example, a 6:00 min/km pace means it takes you 6 minutes to run 1 kilometer.
Pace vs Speed: Pace measures time per distance (slower pace = higher number), while speed measures distance per time (faster speed = higher number).
Split times: Splits show your pace for each interval of the race, helping you maintain consistent effort and avoid starting too fast.
FAQs
How do I calculate my running pace?
Divide your total time by your distance. For example, if you run 5km in 30 minutes, your pace is 30 ÷ 5 = 6 minutes per kilometer (6:00 min/km).
What is a good running pace for beginners?
For beginners, a comfortable pace is typically 7-9 min/km (11-14 min/mile) for running, or 10-12 min/km (16-20 min/mile) for jogging. The best pace is one where you can hold a conversation.

Use Cases
Plan your race pace
Enter your target finish time for a race distance to see what pace you need to maintain. Useful for setting realistic goals.
Example: Target a 2-hour half marathon to find your required pace per mile.
Track your training runs
Input the distance and time of your training run to see your average pace and predict finish times for longer distances.
Example: Run 3 miles in 30 minutes to see your 5K and 10K predicted times.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I calculate my running pace?
- Enter your distance and time into the calculator. It will automatically compute your pace in minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer, depending on your selected pace unit.
- Can I use this calculator for walking?
- Yes, the Pace Calculator works for both running and walking. Simply input your distance and time, and it will calculate your pace, finish time, or distance.
- What are split times?
- Split times are the predicted times for common race distances (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon) based on your current pace. The calculator shows these to help you plan your race.
Tips & Common Mistakes
Tips
- Use the 'race distance' option to quickly calculate your pace for a specific race like a 5K or marathon.
- If you know your pace, enter it along with a distance to find your estimated finish time.
- For accurate results, use the same unit for distance and pace (e.g., miles with min/mile).
- Check your split times to see if your pace is sustainable for longer distances.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Mixing distance units (e.g., entering distance in miles but pace in min/km) without converting.
- Forgetting to enter both distance and time when calculating pace – the calculator needs both.
- Assuming your training pace will exactly match your race pace without considering terrain or fatigue.
