Running Pace Calculator

How to calculate Running Pace calculator?

Divide the total time by the distance to get the time per kilometre. Use minutes for easy interpretation.

Formula: Pace (min/km) = Total time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km)

Using the Running Pace calculator calculator: an example

Example values: Distance = 10 km, Total time = 42:30 (42.5 minutes).

Step-by-step calculation:

• Convert time to minutes: 42:30 → 42.5 minutes.
• Divide by distance: 42.5 ÷ 10 = 4.25 min/km.
• Convert fraction to seconds: 0.25 min × 60 = 15 s → pace = 4:15 min/km.
• Optional speed: 60 ÷ 4.25 ≈ 14.12 km/h.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert pace to speed?

Divide 60 by the pace in minutes per kilometre. For example, speed (km/h) = 60 ÷ 4.25 ≈ 14.12 km/h.

What units should I use for distance?

Use kilometres for this calculator. If you have miles, convert to kilometres first or use a miles-based calculator.

How do I handle times longer than one hour?

Convert hours and minutes to total minutes (for example 1:30:00 → 90 minutes) and then divide by distance to get pace.
