Frequently asked

How do I calculate my running pace?+

Divide your total time in seconds by the distance. For min/km, divide by km; for min/mile, divide by miles. This calculator does both instantly — just flip the unit toggle.

What's the difference between pace and speed?+

Pace = time per unit of distance (min/km or min/mile). Speed = distance per hour (km/h or mph). Runners usually train with pace because it's easier to hold steady.

What pace do I need for a sub-4h marathon?+

Roughly 5:41 min/km or 9:09 min/mile — about 10.5 km/h (6.55 mph) for the full 42.195 km.

Why use a pace calculator at all?+

Pacing is the #1 reason runners blow up on race day. Knowing the exact pace your goal time requires lets you train it, hold it, and finish strong instead of guessing.
