How to Calculate Running Pace, Time, or Distance

Updated July 2026

Quick answer: Pace = Time ÷ Distance. Use our free Running Pace Calculator to convert between pace, time, and distance instantly.

Three Ways to Use This

Find your pace: enter time and distance to get minutes per mile/km. Predict finish time: enter your pace and race distance. Find distance: enter your pace and available time to see how far you could run.

Why Pace Matters for Training

Training at a specific target pace (rather than just "running") helps build the right energy systems for your race goal, whether that's a 5K sprint pace or a marathon endurance pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I predict my marathon finish time from a 5K pace?

Enter your known pace and the marathon distance (26.2 miles) to estimate a finish time — though actual marathon pace is usually slower than 5K pace due to endurance demands.

Does this work in both miles and kilometers?

Yes, the calculator supports both units.

Is pace the same as speed?

They're inverses — pace is time per distance (minutes/mile), speed is distance per time (miles/hour).
