Pace Calculator

Pace = time ÷ distance. Running 10 km in 55 minutes is 5:30 per km, which is 8:51 per mile and 10.9 km/h. At that pace a half marathon (21.1 km) takes about 1 hour 56 minutes. Switch Metric or Imperial to work in kilometres or miles.

  1. Pace = time ÷ distance = 55:00 (3,300 s) ÷ 10 km = 330 s = 5:30 per km
  2. Speed = distance ÷ hours = 10 ÷ 0.9167 = 10.91 km/h
  3. 1 mile = 1.609344 km, so pace per mi = 8:51

Formula

Pace     = time ÷ distance
Time     = pace × distance
Distance = time ÷ pace
Speed    = distance ÷ time (hours)
1 mile = 1.609344 km

Worked Example

10 km in 55:00:

  1. 55 min = 3,300 s; 3,300 ÷ 10 = 330 s per km = 5:30 per km
  2. Per mile: 330 × 1.609344 = 531 s = 8:51 per mile
  3. Speed = 10 ÷ 0.9167 h = 10.9 km/h

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my pace?

Divide your time by the distance. 55 minutes for 10 km is 5.5 minutes per km, which is 5 minutes 30 seconds per km.

How do I convert pace per km to pace per mile?

Multiply by 1.609. 5:30 per km (330 seconds) × 1.609 = 531 seconds, or 8:51 per mile. To go the other way, divide by 1.609.

How long will a marathon take at my pace?

Multiply your pace by 42.195 km (26.2 miles). At 5:30 per km that is 330 × 42.195 = 13,924 seconds, or 3:52:04.

How do I turn pace into speed?

Divide 60 by the pace in minutes. 5.5 minutes per km is 60 ÷ 5.5 = 10.9 km/h.

What is a good walking pace?

A brisk walk is often 9 to 12 minutes per km (about 15 to 19 minutes per mile), or 5 to 6.7 km/h.
