Running Pace Calculator
Calculate your running pace per km or mile from distance and time, or estimate your finish time from pace and distance.
Pace / Finish Time
Running pace is the time it takes to cover one unit of distance (one mile or one kilometer).
Formulas:
Pace = Total Time / Distance
Finish Time = Pace × Distance
Speed = Distance / Time
