Use this running pace chart to compare min/mile, min/km, speed, and race finish times without doing the math by hand. The goal is to turn pace, speed, and split math into numbers you can use on a watch, treadmill, track, or race course.

What the Pace Chart Shows

The chart converts common running paces into minutes per kilometer, miles per hour, kilometers per hour, and estimated race finish times.

Use it as a quick reference when planning workouts, comparing race goals, or translating a training plan between miles and kilometers.

When to Use the Calculator Instead

A chart is fastest for common paces. Use the running pace calculator when you need an exact custom distance, finish time, or pace conversion.

For race goals, pair this chart with the split calculator so the target pace becomes mile-by-mile or kilometer-by-kilometer checkpoints.

Convert pace

Translate min/mile into min/km, mph, and km/h for treadmill settings and mixed-unit training plans.

Compare race goals

Scan estimated finish times for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances at each pace.

Plan checkpoints

Once you choose a target pace, turn it into mile, kilometer, or lap splits for race day.

Pace Conversion Chart

Method and Sources

How this page is checked

  • Pace, speed, split, and chart pages use deterministic distance/time arithmetic.
  • Pace is calculated as elapsed time divided by distance; speed is calculated as distance divided by elapsed time.
  • Accuracy depends on the distance and time values entered or listed in the chart.
