Convert your running pace to speed and vice versa


Whether you're a beginner or an experienced runner, knowing your running pace is essential for tracking your training and planning your races. However, it can be difficult to switch between different units:

You have a speed in km/h and you want to know your pace in min/km?
Do you know your pace in min/km and want to convert it to km/h?

Our running pace converter lets you instantly find the equivalence between these two units. Simply enter a value, and the tool will display the conversion!

Why convert your pace to km/h or min/km?


Pace and speed are two ways to measure your running pace:
• Pace (min/km) is often used by runners and coaches. It indicates the time taken to cover one kilometer. Example: 5'00''/km means that one kilometer is covered in 5 minutes.
• Speed ​​(km/h) is used more in cycling and some treadmill training programs. It indicates how many kilometers you cover in one hour.

Conversion example:
• 5 min/km corresponds to 12 km/h
• 10 km/h corresponds to 6 min/km

Thanks to our converter, you will no longer have to do complicated calculations to adapt your training!

Frequently Asked Questions about Pace Conversion


1. How to switch from min/km to km/h easily?

2. How to convert km/h to min/km?


The equation is pace (min/km) = 60 / speed (km/h). Example: 10 km/h = 60 / 10 = 6'00''/km.

3. What is the difference between speed and pace?

• Pace (min/km) is a measure of the time taken to run 1 km.
