Pace Calculator

Running or cycling pace and speed, from distance and finish time.

Equation used
Pace = dfracTimeDistance; Speed = dfracDistanceTime

Frequently Asked Questions

How is pace different from speed here?

Pace is time per unit distance (e.g. min/km), calculated as Time ÷ Distance; speed is distance per unit time (e.g. km/h), calculated as Distance ÷ Time — they're inverses of each other.

How are the projected finish times calculated?

We take your pace in minutes per km and multiply it by each race's standard distance (5K, 10K, 21.0975 km half marathon, 42.195 km marathon), assuming you hold that exact pace for the whole race.

Can I enter my distance in miles instead of km?

Yes — switch the distance unit to mi. Everything is converted to km internally first, then pace and speed are shown in km, mi, km/h and mph.
