How do I calculate running pace?

Pace = Total Time ÷ Total Distance. For example: 5K in 25 minutes = 25÷5 = 5:00/km pace. You can also enter Distance + Pace to calculate estimated finish time.

How to convert pace between distances?

Pace typically slows as distance increases. Marathon pace is usually 30-60 seconds per km slower than 5K pace. This tool supports both km and mile units with automatic conversion.

What is negative split pacing?

Negative split means running the second half faster than the first half. E.g., marathon first 21.1K at 5:30 pace, second half at 5:20. This is an advanced racing strategy that helps avoid hitting the wall.

What distance units are supported?

Both kilometers (km) and miles (mi). 1 mile ≈ 1.609 km. Pace conversion: min/mile = min/km × 1.609.

Q: What is running pace?

Running pace is the time it takes to run one kilometer or one mile, typically expressed as minutes:seconds per km (e.g., 5:30/km means 5 minutes 30 seconds per kilometer). Pace is one of the most important metrics in running training and racing.
