Pace Calculator
Calculate your pace per mile or kilometer based on distance and time.
What Is Pace?
Pace refers to the time it takes you to cover a specific distance. It is commonly used in running, walking, and cycling to measure your speed and track your fitness progress.
How Does the Pace Calculator Work?
Simply enter the distance you covered and the time it took. The calculator will return your average pace per kilometer or mile, depending on your selected unit.
Pace vs. Speed – What’s the Difference?
Pace is the time per unit distance (e.g., 6 minutes per km), while speed is the distance per unit time (e.g., 10 km/h). Runners usually refer to pace, whereas cyclists often use speed.
