Pace Calculator
Use the formula and worked example below to calculate manually.
Overview
The pace calculator computes any of three running variables — pace (min/km or min/mile), finish time, or distance — when you know the other two. Use it to plan race strategy or analyse a training run.
How to use this calculator
- Select what you want to calculate: Pace, Time, or Distance.
- Enter the two known values.
- The calculator shows the unknown value instantly.
Understanding the inputs & results
Pace
Time taken to cover one kilometre (or mile). E.g., 6:00 min/km means 10 km/h.
Finish time
Total time to complete a race or run: Pace × Distance.
Distance
Total distance run: Time ÷ Pace.
Speed (km/h)
Distance covered per hour: 60 / Pace (min/km).
The formula
Pace formula
Pace = Time / Distance | Time = Pace × Distance | Distance = Time / Pace
All three formulas are rearrangements of the same relationship. Ensure units are consistent (minutes and kilometres, or minutes and miles).
Worked example
Run 10 km in 55 minutes.
- Pace = 55 min / 10 km = 5:30 min/km.
- Speed = 60 / 5.5 = 10.9 km/h.
✓ Pace = 5:30 min/km | Speed ≈ 10.9 km/h.
