How pace and speed are calculated

Pace is time divided by distance, usually expressed as minutes and seconds per kilometer or mile — a lower pace number means you're moving faster. Speed is the inverse relationship: distance divided by time, usually expressed in km/h or mph.

This calculator converts between kilometers and miles using the exact factor 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers, so your pace and speed are shown correctly in both unit systems regardless of which you entered your distance in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a 5:00 min/km pace to min/mile?

Multiply the min/km pace by 1.609344 (the number of kilometers in a mile): 5:00 × 1.609344 ≈ 8:03 min/mile.

What's a good running pace?

This varies enormously by fitness level, goal, and distance — this calculator just converts your actual pace between units, it doesn't evaluate whether a pace is "good."

How do I calculate my finish time for a race at a given pace?

Multiply your pace (minutes per km or mile) by the race distance in that same unit — for example, a 5:00/km pace over a 10K distance gives a 50:00 finish time.
