Calculation Method
This running pace converter switches your pace between minutes per kilometer and minutes per mile, and shows the equivalent speed in km/h and mph — handy when race plans, treadmills, and training partners use different units.
How to Convert Pace
A mile is 1.609344 kilometers, so:
- min/km → min/mile: multiply by 1.609344
- min/mile → min/km: divide by 1.609344
- pace → speed (km/h): 60 ÷ pace per km
Pace Conversion Reference
| min/km | min/mile | km/h |
|---|---|---|
| 4:00 | 6:26 | 15.0 |
| 5:00 | 8:03 | 12.0 |
| 6:00 | 9:39 | 10.0 |
| 7:00 | 11:16 | 8.6 |
Pace is time per distance, so a larger per-mile number than per-km number is expected — a mile takes longer to cover than a kilometer.
Frequently Asked Questions
