Running Pace Calculator
Enter any two of distance, time or pace to calculate the third. Choose miles or kilometers. Useful for planning runs and race times.
Running Pace Calculator
Calculate pace, distance or time
Pace = time ÷ distance. Distance = time ÷ pace. Time = pace × distance. Pace is shown as minutes per mile or kilometer.
Pace, Distance and Time
The three are related by:
Pace = Time ÷ Distance Distance = Time ÷ Pace Time = Pace × Distance
Pace is expressed as minutes (and seconds) per mile or kilometer. A lower pace number means faster running.
**Common race paces**: - 5K race: often 8–12 min/mile for recreational runners - 10K race: often 9–13 min/mile - Half marathon: often 10–14 min/mile - Marathon: often 11–15 min/mile
These vary widely by fitness and experience.
- Pace = time ÷ distance
- Lower pace number = faster
- Supports miles and kilometers
- Useful for race planning
Worked Example
Example: Run 5 miles in 40 minutes.
- Pace = 40 min ÷ 5 miles = 8 min/mile (8:00/mile)
Example: Run at 9:30/mile for 10 miles. - Time = 9.5 min/mile × 10 miles = 95 minutes = 1:35
