Running Pace Calculator
Pace and speed from any run you just did.
Ran 5K in 27:30 and wondering what that means? Enter the distance and your time to get your pace per kilometer and average speed. It's the simplest way to track progress — when the pace drops at the same effort, you're getting fitter.
How it's calculated
Pace = total minutes ÷ kilometers, shown as mm:ss per km; average speed = distance ÷ hours.
Frequently asked questions
What's a good running pace?
There's no universal 'good' — a 6:00/km jog is a solid start for beginners, while trained runners hold 4:00–5:00/km comfortably. Compare against your own past runs, not strangers'.
Pace or speed — which should I track?
Runners usually think in pace (minutes per km) because it maps directly to race goals; speed (km/h) is more intuitive for treadmill settings. This calculator gives you both.
How do I get faster?
Mostly by running more easy kilometers, plus one harder session a week. Watch your average pace trend over months — fitness compounds like interest.
