Convert between running pace, speed and finish time for any distance.
Pace and speed are reciprocals, so a five minute kilometre is exactly 12 kilometres per hour. Pace is more useful when distance is fixed and speed when duration is. Treadmills display speed while races are run to pace, which is why converting between them is a routine part of structured training.
Running Pace
Pace = total seconds ÷ (60 × distance); speed is the reciprocal expressed per hour
These figures are population-average estimates for training and recreational planning only and are not medical advice. Individual responses vary widely. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or significantly changing an exercise, supplement or nutrition programme, particularly if you have any medical condition.
