Running Pace Calculator

How the calculator works

Pace, time and distance are linked by a simple relationship: pace is time divided by distance. When you provide two of them, the calculator derives the third automatically.

For example, from a given distance and target time you can find out what per-kilometre pace is required.

What you enter and what you get

You enter two of the three values, distance, time or pace, and the calculator returns the missing one. The result is shown clearly, for instance as pace per kilometre or as total time.

Who it's for and why

The calculator suits both beginners and experienced runners. Use it to set a target pace for a race, check whether a certain pace would carry you to the finish, or plan the tempos of an interval session.

Tips

Remember that terrain, weather and fatigue affect your real pace. Use the calculated pace as a goal, but leave some margin for conditions and day-to-day variation in form.
