Plan a target pace, then see the matching time and speed instantly
Pace is the most common way runners and walkers think about effort. You can compute pace per kilometer or per mile, then fine tune it with small second based adjustments to explore realistic plans for workouts and races.

What pace is
Pace is time per distance. It is usually written as minutes per kilometer (min/km) or minutes per mile (min/mi).
If you prefer speed (km/h or mi/h), this tool shows both. Pace is often easier to control during a run because it maps directly to how long each split should take.
Use pace to plan splits and match a target finish time
Formulas
Pace = total time divided by distance
Speed = distance divided by total time
Internally, this calculator converts miles to kilometers (and vice versa) using 1 mile = 1.60934 km, then computes pace per km and pace per mile.
After you calculate once, the pace adjust buttons change pace by seconds and recompute total time and speed automatically.
Planning tips
Use pace adjustments to explore realistic plans
Adjust pace by a few seconds and watch the finish time move. Small pace differences matter a lot over longer distances.
If you train in km but race in miles (or the opposite), the dual unit view helps avoid conversion mistakes.
Save scenarios for different goals, then compare them in a table on this page.
Plan a baseline pace, then adjust for terrain, conditions, and confidence
Limitations
This is a constant pace model. It does not account for hills, wind, fatigue, or stops.
Inputs must be accurate. Small mistakes in distance or time can change pace noticeably.
Use this as a planning baseline, then validate with real runs or wearable data.
