About the Pace Calculator
A pace calculator works out your running pace, finish time, or distance for a race, with quick presets for common distances like 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon.
The pace formula
Finish time = Pace per unit × Distance
Rearranged, this also works backward: Pace = Finish time ÷ Distance, useful for figuring out what pace you'd need to hit a target time.
How to use
1
Select a preset distance or enter a custom one.
2
Enter your pace per kilometer or mile.
3
View your estimated finish time and pace in both units.
Worked examples
Example: 10K finish time
Running a 10K at a 5:30 per kilometer pace.
Input
5:30 × 10
Result
Finish time = 55:00
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the pace I need for a target finish time?
Enter your target distance and desired finish time, and the calculator works backward to show the pace per kilometer or mile you'd need to maintain.
What's a good pace for a beginner runner?
This varies widely by individual fitness level, so it's more useful to track your own pace over time and aim for gradual improvement rather than comparing to a fixed benchmark.
