Calculate your running or walking pace, time, or distance.
Welcome to the Pace Calculator! This tool helps you calculate your pace, time, or distance for running, walking, or other activities. Input any two variables (distance and time, pace and distance, or pace and time), and the calculator will compute the third. It supports multiple units for distance (miles, kilometers, meters) and time (hours, minutes, seconds), with results displayed in your chosen units.
Pace is a measure of how long it takes to cover a certain distance, typically expressed as minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer. For example, a pace of 8 minutes per mile means it takes 8 minutes to run or walk 1 mile. Pace is commonly used by runners and walkers to track their speed and set goals.
The calculator uses the basic relationship between distance, time, and pace:
- Pace = Time ÷ Distance (e.g., minutes per mile)
- Time = Distance × Pace (e.g., total minutes)
- Distance = Time ÷ Pace (e.g., total miles)
All inputs are converted to consistent units for calculation:
- Distance is converted to miles or kilometers based on the pace unit.
- Time is converted to minutes for pace calculations.
Results are formatted in the user’s chosen units.
The calculator handles conversions between units:
- Distance: 1 mile = 1.60934 km, 1 km = 1000 meters, 1 mile = 1609.34 meters
- Time: 1 hour = 60 minutes, 1 minute = 60 seconds
- Pace: Pace in minutes per mile is converted to minutes per kilometer by multiplying by 1.60934 (or vice versa by dividing).
Knowing your pace can help you plan your workouts or races. For example:
- If you’re training for a 5K (3.1 miles) and your goal pace is 8 minutes per mile, your estimated time will be 3.1 × 8 = 24.8 minutes (or 24 minutes 48 seconds).
- If you ran 10 km in 50 minutes, your pace is 50 ÷ 10 = 5 minutes per kilometer.
Use this calculator to set realistic goals or predict your performance.
This calculator assumes a constant pace and doesn’t account for factors like terrain, fatigue, or weather, which can affect your actual pace. For more accurate predictions, consider these factors or use a GPS running app during your activity.
Pace measures time per distance (e.g., minutes per mile), while speed measures distance per time (e.g., miles per hour). Pace is more common in running because it’s easier to relate to how long it takes to cover a distance.
Yes, this calculator works for any activity where you cover a distance over time, including walking, running, cycling, or swimming.
You can select minutes per kilometer as your pace unit, or calculate your pace by entering your distance and time.
