Calculate running pace per kilometre and mile, speed and common-distance equivalents from distance and elapsed time.
Inputs this tool uses
- Distance
- Elapsed time
What you get
Pace and speed from distance and elapsed time.
How to use the Running Pace Calculator
- Enter distance, elapsed time.
- Select any method, activity level or option shown on this page, then choose Calculate.
- Read the main result together with the supporting values, method, assumptions and limitations below before using the estimate.
How this calculation works
Pace, speed, time and distance are exact arithmetic conversions from the user-entered values.
Example calculation
The sample values loaded into the calculator produce 9:00 /km. This example exists to show how the output is structured; replace the sample values with your own inputs for your calculation.
Assumptions and limitations
- Energy, fitness and heart-rate outputs are estimates and vary by individual and device.
- Stop exercise and seek appropriate care if you have concerning symptoms; this tool does not provide medical clearance.
