Running Pace Calculator

Enter the distance and your time to see your pace per kilometre and per mile, your average speed and a table of even splits to aim for. You can also work backwards: enter a goal pace to see the finish time. Great for planning a first 5K or checking a race goal.

How it works

Pace = time ÷ distance
1 mile = 1.609 km, so pace per mile = pace per km × 1.609
Speed = distance ÷ time in hours
Splits = pace × each km or mile (every 5 km for longer races)

Most runners do best starting a little slower than goal pace and finishing a little faster.

Three things this tool can't see

Hills and heat. Hills, wind and hot days slow everyone down. Adjust by feel.
GPS errors. Watches often measure races a little long. Use the course markers.
Your health. If you are new to running, build up slowly and check with a doctor if you have a health condition.
