Pace is the rate at which you cover a certain distance. It is typically expressed as the time taken to cover one mile or one kilometer. For example, a running pace of 5 minutes per kilometer means it takes you 5 minutes to run 1 kilometer.
Pace is a crucial metric for runners and athletes as it helps in planning and monitoring training sessions, races, and overall performance progression.
To calculate your pace, divide the total time taken by the distance covered. For example, if you run 5 kilometers in 25 minutes:
Pace = Time / Distance
Pace = 25 minutes / 5 km = 5 minutes per km
Our pace calculator simplifies this process by doing the math for you!
Pace measures how long it takes to cover a unit of distance. It is commonly used in running and other endurance sports.
Pace = Time / Distance
Typical units: minutes per kilometer (min/km) or minutes per mile (min/mi)
Speed measures how much distance is covered in a unit of time. It is the inverse of pace.
Speed = Distance / Time
Typical units: kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph)
Time is the duration taken to cover a certain distance at a given pace or speed.
Time = Distance × Pace
Typical units: hours, minutes, seconds
| Pace (min/km) | Pace (min/mi) | Speed (km/h) | Speed (mph) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4:00 | 6:26 | 15.00 | 9.32 |
| 4:30 | 7:16 | 13.33 | 8.28 |
| 5:00 | 8:05 | 12.00 | 7.46 |
| 5:30 | 8:53 | 10.91 | 6.78 |
| 6:00 | 9:41 | 10.00 | 6.21 |
Pace and speed are two ways to measure how fast you're moving, but they're calculated differently. Pace is the time it takes to cover a unit of distance (e.g., minutes per mile), while speed is the distance covered in a unit of time (e.g., miles per hour). They are inversely related: as one increases, the other decreases.
