Pace Calculator
Calculate average running or walking pace and speed from distance and elapsed time.
Formula
Pace = time/distance; speed = distance/time. Pace results use decimal minutes.
Distance: 3 mi · Elapsed time: 30 min · Pace per kilometer ≈ (30 min × 60 s/min)×1000÷(60×(3 mi × 1,609.344 m/mi)) · Pace per mile ≈ (30 min × 60 s/min)×1609.344÷(60×(3 mi × 1,609.344 m/mi)) · Average speed ≈ (3 mi × 1,609.344 m/mi)÷(30 min × 60 s/min)×3.6
How to use
- Enter distance and its unit.
- Enter elapsed time, including stops if desired.
- Read decimal minutes per km and mile, plus speed.
Examples
- 5 km in 25 minutes gives 5 min/km and 12 km/h.
