Using pace in training
Pace is the language of running plans. Most easy runs should feel conversational, while tempo and interval sessions target faster paces for shorter stretches. Knowing your current race pace helps you set realistic goals and pace evenly so you don't fade in the closing kilometres.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate running pace?
Pace is your total time divided by the distance. Enter how far you ran and how long it took and the calculator returns minutes per kilometre and minutes per mile, along with your average speed in km/h and mph.
What is a good pace for a beginner?
Many new runners are comfortable around 6:30 to 7:30 per kilometre, or roughly 10:30 to 12:00 per mile, but a good pace is simply one you can sustain and build on. Progress by keeping most runs at an easy, conversational effort.
How do I convert pace between km and miles?
One mile is 1.609 kilometres, so pace per mile is your pace per kilometre multiplied by 1.609. This tool does the conversion for you and shows both figures side by side from a single distance and time.
