Pace & Speed FAQ
How do I convert min/km to km/h?
Divide 60 by your min/km pace. For example, a pace of 5:00/km gives 60 ÷ 5 = 12 km/h. A slower pace of 6:00/km gives 60 ÷ 6 = 10 km/h.
What is a good running pace in km/h?
Casual jog: 7–9 km/h; moderate running: 9–12 km/h; fast running: 12–16 km/h; elite marathon pace: 18+ km/h. Most recreational runners fall in the 8–11 km/h range.
How do I convert min/km to min/mile?
Multiply your min/km pace by 1.60934 to get min/mile. For example, 5:00/km × 1.60934 = 8:03/mile. This converter handles that automatically.
What speed is a 30-minute 5K?
A 30-minute 5K requires a pace of 6:00/km, which equals 10.0 km/h or 6.2 mph. That's a solid recreational running pace.
What's the difference between pace and speed?
Pace is time per unit of distance (e.g., min/km) — lower is faster. Speed is distance per unit of time (e.g., km/h) — higher is faster. They represent the same thing with inverted units.
