How the Pace Calculator Works

Running pace is how long it takes to cover one unit of distance — minutes per mile or per kilometre. Divide your total time by the distance and you have it. This calculator gives pace in both miles and kilometres, plus your speed in mph and km/h, from a single run.

Pace is the number runners train and race by, because it’s easy to hold steady and to translate to finish times. Enter a distance and time to find your pace, whether from a training run, a race or a treadmill session.

pace = total time ÷ distance

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate running pace?

Divide your total time by the distance. Three miles in 24 minutes is an 8:00 per mile pace.

What is a good running pace?

It varies widely by fitness and distance. Many recreational runners sit around 9–11 minutes per mile; faster runners go well under 8.

How do I convert pace to speed?

Divide 60 by your pace in minutes per mile to get miles per hour. An 8:00 pace is 7.5 mph.
