Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my running pace?
Divide total time by distance. Running 5 km in 30 minutes is 30 ÷ 5 = 6:00 per kilometre (about 9:39 per mile).
What is a good beginner 5K pace?
Many beginners finish a 5K between 30 and 40 minutes — roughly 6:00 to 8:00 per km. Consistency matters far more than pace when starting out.
What is the difference between pace and speed?
Pace is time per distance (min/km or min/mile); speed is distance per time (km/h or mph). They're inverses — a 6:00/km pace equals 10 km/h.
How do I use pace to plan a race?
Enter your goal finish time and race distance to get the pace you must hold, or enter a training pace and distance to predict your finish time.
