Essential Runner's Toolkit
Fundamental calculations for pace, speed, distance, and time.
Pace from Distance & Time
What does this pace mean?
Pace is the time it takes to cover a set distance, usually expressed as minutes per kilometer or mile. For recreational runners, a pace of 6:00 min/km (9:39 min/mile) is common. Elite runners may run under 3:00 min/km (4:50 min/mile). Use your pace to set training zones and race goals.
Time from Pace & Distance
How to use this time estimate?
This calculator predicts your finish time for a given distance and pace. Use it to plan race goals or estimate how long a training run will take. Remember, actual times may vary due to terrain, weather, and fitness.
Speed to Pace Converter
Why convert speed to pace?
Speed (km/h or mph) is often used on treadmills or GPS watches, while pace (min/km or min/mile) is more intuitive for runners. Converting between them helps you match treadmill workouts to outdoor runs and better understand your training data.
