How to use the pace calculator
Enter a distance in kilometers, miles or meters and the time it took. The calculator shows your pace per kilometer and per mile, your average speed, and what that pace means for common race distances.
Pace versus speed
Pace is the time it takes to cover a unit of distance, such as 5:30 per kilometer. Speed is the distance covered in a unit of time, such as 11 km/h. Runners usually think in pace, while cyclists usually think in speed.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good 5K time?
It depends on age and experience. Many recreational runners finish a 5K in 25 to 35 minutes.
Are the race predictions exact?
They assume you hold the same pace over the whole distance, which is harder over longer races.
