Calculate your running pace from distance and time
Pace is the time it takes you to cover a specific distance, usually expressed in minutes per kilometer (min/km). It's one of the most important metrics for runners.
Controlling pace helps avoid overload, improves training consistency and allows gradual progression. Runners who monitor their pace have lower injury risk and higher probability of achieving their goals.
Use this calculator to plan workouts, set race strategies or analyze your results. For beginners, focus on maintaining a comfortable pace. Experienced runners can use different paces for specific workouts.
