Free Pace Calculator

Enter your distance and finish time to get running pace per kilometer and per mile, plus average speed in km/h and mph — everything a runner needs from one result.

Private by design. This tool runs 100% in your browser — your inputs are never uploaded to any server.

How to Use the Pace Calculator

  1. Enter the distance and its unit.
  2. Enter your time in hours, minutes and seconds.
  3. Click Calculate Pace for pace and speed.

Features

Divides total seconds by distance in each unit for precise pace, formats it as m:ss, and converts to speed both ways with the exact km–mile factor.

Benefits & Use Cases

Runners set target paces for race day, compare performances across distances, and convert between metric and imperial training plans.

Tips

Enter chip time (not gun time) for your true pace. For training targets, most coaches suggest easy runs 60–90 seconds slower than race pace per km.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good running pace?

It depends on distance and experience — 6:00/km is a solid beginner 10K pace; elites run under 3:00/km.

How do I convert pace to speed?

Speed = 60 ÷ pace-in-minutes per km gives km/h. The tool does both directions automatically.

Pace per km vs per mile?

Same effort, different units — a 5:00/km pace equals about 8:03/mile. The calculator shows both.

Can I use it for cycling?

Yes — the math is identical; cyclists usually focus on the speed figures.
