Calculate running pace, split times, finish time, and distance for races and training with mph, min/mile, min/km conversions.
A pace calculator converts between pace (minutes per mile/kilometer) and speed (miles or kilometers per hour) for running, walking, or cycling. Calculates splits for race distances (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon), determines finish times at specific paces, or finds required pace to achieve goal time. Essential for runners training for races, tracking workout intensity, planning run times, pacing race strategy, and comparing workouts. Understanding pace helps runners set realistic goals: 10-minute mile pace is comfortable for beginners, 8-minute miles for intermediate, 6-minute miles for advanced.
Train effectively by knowing exact pace targets for workouts—interval training at 7-minute pace, easy runs at 10-minute pace, tempo runs at 8-minute pace. Plan races strategically by calculating required pace for goal times: want to finish marathon in under 4 hours, need consistent 9:09 per mile. Avoid going out too fast at race start (most common mistake) by knowing goal pace and sticking to it using GPS watch. Track improvement over time by comparing paces for same distance—5K pace dropping from 10:00/mile to 9:00/mile shows significant fitness gains. Convert between metric and imperial easily: 5-minute per kilometer equals 8:03 per mile. Calculate splits for interval training: 8 x 400m at 5K pace with 2-minute recovery.
Choose calculation type: pace to speed, speed to pace, or race time prediction. Enter your pace (e.g., 8 minutes 30 seconds per mile) or speed (e.g., 7.5 mph), and select distance (miles or kilometers). Results show converted pace/speed, predicted finish times for common race distances (5K, 10K, half, full marathon), and split times per mile/km. For race planning, enter goal finish time and race distance to find required pace. Use pace charts to see how small pace changes affect finish time: 8:30/mile marathon finishes in 3:42, but 8:00/mile finishes in 3:29 (13-minute difference). Track actual pace during training runs using GPS watch and compare to targets.
