Take the quizHow to use this pace calculator
Enter your total time and distance to get your pace per mile or kilometer, along with the equivalent pace in the other unit. This is the same math coaches and race apps use, just without needing to open a spreadsheet mid-run.
Pace calculators are most useful for planning even splits before a race. If you know the pace you can hold, multiply it out to check your projected finish time on the race time predictor, or work backward from a goal finish time to find the pace you need to hold.
For race-specific versions of this same math, see the 5k pace calculator, half marathon pace calculator, or marathon pace calculator.
Where these numbers come from
The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:
- Standard pace = time / distance conversion
- mile-to-kilometer conversion factor (1 mile = 1.60934 km)
These are planning estimates for training purposes. Check with a coach, trainer, or physician before starting a new program or maxing out.
Frequently asked questions
What's a good running pace for a beginner?
Most new runners fall somewhere between 10 and 14 minutes per mile for easy runs. Pace matters far less than consistency when you're starting out.
How do I convert my pace between miles and kilometers?
Divide your per-mile pace by 1.60934 to get per-kilometer pace, or multiply your per-kilometer pace by 1.60934 to get per-mile pace. This calculator does the conversion automatically.
Should I run every mile at exactly the same pace?
Even splits are a solid default strategy for most distances, though many experienced racers run a slight negative split — a bit faster in the second half once they're warmed up and have judged their effort correctly.
