Running pace calculator
Set the pace you run — or the one you're aiming at — and both tables update. Times assume you hold it evenly the whole way.
Your pace
Switch units to see the equivalent times in miles or kilometres — the pace converts, it isn't just relabelled.
Finish times at 6:00 / km
| 5 km | 30:00 |
| 5 miles | 48:17 |
| 10 km | 1:00:00 |
| 10 miles | 1:36:34 |
| Half marathon | 2:06:35 |
| Marathon | 4:13:10 |
Even pacing, no stops. Add 1–2% for a hilly course.

A guide, not a rule — weather, hills and sleep all move these.

Easy
Low-intensity, conversational-paced workouts that build aerobic endurance and support recovery. Typically 60 to 90 seconds slower than race pace, they reduce injury risk, improve fat metabolism, and form the foundation of most training plans.
