Frequently asked questions
How do I convert my running pace from km to miles?
Enter your pace in minutes and seconds per km, and this calculator gives you the equivalent pace per mile (which will be a larger number, since a mile is longer than a km).
What is a good running pace?
It varies hugely by fitness level and goal — recreational runners often run 6-8 min/km, while competitive runners may run under 4 min/km; use whatever pace suits your training plan.
How is pace different from speed?
Pace is time per unit distance (e.g. minutes per km) — lower is faster. Speed is distance per unit time (e.g. km/h) — higher is faster. They're reciprocals of each other.
