How the pace calculator works
Choose what to work out, then fill in the other two boxes. Pace is time per kilometre or per mile: change the unit beside the box and everything else follows. The result shows pace both ways, your speed in km/h and mph, and how long 5K, 10K, a half marathon and a marathon take at that pace.
- Times can be typed as 55:00, 1:05:30 or 3:59:59. A single number counts as minutes, and 1h 5m works too.
- Rounding: every time is rounded to the nearest second, as a whole, so you will never see a pace like 5:60.
- Distances: the race buttons use World Athletics distances, 21.0975 km for the half marathon and 42.195 km for the marathon, and a mile is exactly 1.609344 km.
Finish times assume you hold the pace from start to finish. To plan a race kilometre by kilometre, or to run the second half faster, use the split calculator.
