How Pace and Speed Relate
Pace is time per distance (minutes per km or mile); speed is distance per time (km/h or mph). They’re reciprocals:
Pace (min/km) = 60 ÷ Speed (km/h) Speed (km/h) = 60 ÷ Pace (min/km)
To convert pace between units, multiply or divide by 1.609:
- min/km → min/mile: multiply by 1.609
- min/mile → min/km: divide by 1.609
So a 5:00/km pace is about 8:03/mile, or 12 km/h.
Common Running Paces
