How Pace Calculation Works
Pace Calculation Formula
Pace = Time ÷ Distance
Speed (mph/kph): Distance ÷ Time
Pace (min/mile): Time in minutes ÷ Distance in miles
Pace (min/km): Time in minutes ÷ Distance in kilometers
Conversion: 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers
Example Pace Calculation
A runner completes 10 kilometers in 50 minutes. Their pace is 8:03 per mile (5:00 per kilometer) with an average speed of 7.5 mph (12 kph). At this pace, they would finish a half marathon in 1 hour 45 minutes and a marathon in 3 hours 30 minutes.
This helps runners plan training and set realistic race goals.
