Pace Calculator

Pace tells you how long it takes to cover a set distance — most often expressed as minutes per kilometre or minutes per mile. It's the number runners and walkers use to plan and compare efforts, because it stays meaningful whether your run is short or long.

We also show your speed — the distance you'd cover in an hour — which is the same information the other way round. A pace of 6:00 per km is a speed of 10 km/h; a lower pace number means a higher speed.

Use pace to set targets ("I want to hold 5:30 per km"), to pace a race evenly, or to see how training is progressing. It's a tool for planning effort, not a health measurement.

Formula. Pace = time ÷ distance, shown as minutes and seconds per unit; speed = distance ÷ time, per hour. There's no estimation here — it's exact arithmetic, so the only thing that affects the answer is what you enter.

Units. Choose kilometres or miles for the distance, and the pace and speed come back in matching units (min/km with km/h, or min/mile with mph). Enter your time in minutes.

Confidence. We label this high confidence because the calculation is exact. That refers to the maths, not to your training — pace can't tell you how hard a run felt or how fit you are.
