Running Pace Calculator (mobile friendly)

>>Jump to the Running Pace Calculator<<

When planning your next race or run, it’s important to know what your expected running pace is. Even if you are just off out for a run to have some fun, it’s good to know if you are going to make it back in time for dinner, or whatever else you have planned.

This running pace calculator is easy to use – simply enter how long you think the race will take you and what the race distance is (choose from the dropdown OR enter your own race distance in KM), plus choose if you want the results in minutes per KM or minutes per mile. It will then calculate the average pace for you. You can also choose to see pace in running track distances if you like to keep an eye on things in lap chunks, e.g. minutes per 400 metres. It will also show you your average speed too, which is helpful if you are treadmill running – they are often set in speed, rather than pace.

This is also known as a race pace calculator. If this doesn’t sound quite what you were looking for and actually want to know what pace to be doing in your different types of training sessions, take a look at the training pace calculator instead.

For shorter races you might be able to have splits that are roughly similar, or even negative split (run faster in the second half of the race than the first). However, for longer races, over around five hours, most runners will run a bit slower in the second half of the race as fatigue sets in and have to walk more often, so take this into account when looking at your target average pace.
