What is the Pace Calculator?

The Pace Calculator converts between pace, time, and distance for running, walking, and cycling. Find Pace tells you your minutes-per-kilometer or minutes-per-mile pace and speed from a distance and finish time. Find Time predicts your finish time for a given distance at a target pace. Find Distance shows how far you'd travel in a set amount of time at a given pace.

How to Use It

Pick the tab matching your question. For Find Pace, enter the distance covered and the time it took; the tool returns pace per kilometer and mile, speed in km/h, and projected finish times for a 5K, half marathon, and marathon at that same pace. For Find Time or Find Distance, enter the pace and either distance or duration to solve for the missing value.

When to Use It

Use it to check your pace after a training run, set a target pace for an upcoming race, estimate your finish time for a 5K, half marathon, or marathon, or plan how far a training run will cover in a set amount of time.

Who Benefits

Runners, walkers, and cyclists training for a race or fitness goal, along with coaches planning workout paces for athletes. Because pace, time, and distance are three views of the same relationship, this tool saves solving the math by hand mid-workout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Running pace is the time it takes to cover a set distance — typically expressed as minutes per kilometer or minutes per mile. A pace of 6:00/km means you run 1 kilometer every 6 minutes. Pace = Time ÷ Distance.
Average recreational runner: 6–7 min/km (9:30–11 min/mile). Intermediate: 5–6 min/km (8–9:30/mile). Advanced: under 5 min/km (under 8 min/mile). Elite marathon runners maintain paces under 3 min/km. 'Good' depends entirely on your experience level and goals.
A sub-4-hour marathon (42.195km) requires an average pace of 5:41/km or 9:09/mile. For a half marathon sub-2-hour, you need 5:41/km. For a 5K under 25 minutes, you need 5:00/km.
