How the MPH to Pace Calculator Works

Treadmills show speed in miles per hour, but runners think in pace — minutes per mile. To convert, divide 60 by the speed: 6 mph is a 10:00-per-mile pace. This calculator gives the pace per mile and per kilometer, handy for matching a treadmill setting to a target race pace.

The two are just reciprocals of each other, scaled by 60 minutes in an hour.

pace per mile = 60 ÷ speed (mph)
