About the Running Pace Calculator (Health & Fitness)
Pace is the time it takes to cover one kilometre. Enter your distance and your total time to find your average pace in minutes per kilometre — useful for setting race goals and comparing runs.
For example, 5 km in 30 minutes is a pace of 6 minutes per kilometre.
Pace
Pace (min/km) = time (minutes) ÷ distance (km)
Things to keep in mind
- Pace in min/km and speed in km/h are two views of the same thing: speed = 60 ÷ pace.
- Run the first half slightly slower than the second to avoid fading.
- Decimals are not minutes and seconds: a pace of 5.5 is 5 minutes 30 seconds.
