Whether you’re training for a race, tracking a morning run, or simply trying to improve your walking speed, knowing your pace can be useful. Pace tells you how much time it takes to cover a specific distance, usually one kilometer or one mile.
Our free Pace Calculator helps you quickly calculate your average pace from your distance and total time. Enter your distance and time, and you’ll get your pace per kilometer, pace per mile, and average speed.

Your Running Pace
How Does the Pace Calculator Work?
The Pace Calculator uses your total distance and the time you took to cover it. It then calculates how long it would take you to complete one kilometer and one mile at the same average pace.
For example, if you run 5 kilometers in 30 minutes, your average pace is 6:00 minutes per kilometer.
What Is Running Pace?
Running pace is the amount of time it takes to cover a particular distance. It is commonly shown as minutes per kilometer or minutes per mile.
A lower pace time means you are covering the distance faster. For example, a pace of 5:00 min/km is faster than 6:00 min/km.
Pace vs. Speed
Pace and speed describe the same basic performance in different ways.
Pace tells you how much time you need to cover a distance, such as 6:00 min/km.
Speed tells you how much distance you cover in a certain amount of time, such as 10 km/h.
The calculator shows both so you can easily understand your running or walking performance.
How Can You Improve Your Pace?
Improving your pace usually takes time and consistent training. Depending on your fitness level and goals, you can include easy runs, longer runs, intervals, and other structured workouts in your routine.
It is also useful to increase training gradually and allow enough time for recovery between harder sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good running pace?
There is no single pace that is considered good for everyone. Pace depends on fitness level, experience, distance, terrain, age, and other factors. A useful pace is one that matches your current fitness and training goal.
How do I calculate my pace?
Divide your total running time by the distance you covered. For example, 30 minutes divided by 5 kilometers gives a pace of 6 minutes per kilometer.
How do I calculate pace per mile?
Divide your total time by the number of miles you traveled. The calculator above automatically provides your pace per mile.
Is a lower pace faster?
Yes. A pace of 5:30 min/km means you take 5 minutes and 30 seconds to cover one kilometer, while 6:30 min/km takes longer.
Can I use this calculator for walking?
Yes. The calculator can be used for running, walking, jogging, hiking, or any other activity where you want to calculate average pace from distance and time.
Can I use miles instead of kilometers?
Yes. Select Miles (mi) as the distance unit. The calculator will automatically provide both mile and kilometer pace.
