Pace Calculator
Calculate your running pace, time, or distance.
What is a Pace Calculator?
A Pace Calculator is a versatile tool for runners, cyclists, and walkers that helps compute speed, time, and distance. You can use it to determine how fast you need to go to achieve a certain race time, figure out how long a workout will take, or calculate the distance you covered. It's an essential tool for training, race planning, and analyzing your performance. The calculator can solve for pace, time, or distance if you provide the other two variables.
How to Use the Pace Calculator
The calculator has three modes. Here’s an example for calculating your pace:
- Select the 'Pace' tab.
- Enter your distance: For example, if you ran a 10k race, you would enter '10' km.
- Enter your time: Input the hours, minutes, and seconds it took you to complete the distance. For a 10k, a good time might be 55 minutes and 0 seconds.
The calculator will instantly show your average pace per kilometer (e.g., 5:30 min/km).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I calculate my pace for a half marathon?
A: To calculate your half marathon pace (21.1 km), enter 21.1 in the distance field and your target finish time (e.g., 2 hours, 15 minutes) in the time fields. The calculator will show you the exact pace you need to maintain.
Q: Can I use this for treadmill running?
A: Yes. If your treadmill shows your distance and time, you can input those values to find your pace. Conversely, you can set a target pace on the treadmill to match the pace calculated by this tool.
