Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a speed in km/h into a pace in min/km?
Divide 60 by the speed: the result is the pace in minutes per kilometre. At 12 km/h, 60 ÷ 12 = 5, so 5:00 min/km; at 10 km/h, 6:00 min/km; at 15 km/h, 4:00 min/km. When the division is not exact, multiply the decimal part by 60 to get the seconds: 60 ÷ 12.5 = 4.8 minutes, and 0.8 × 60 = 48 seconds, so 4:48 min/km.
How do I convert a pace in min/km into a speed in km/h?
First express the pace in decimal minutes by dividing the seconds by 60, then divide 60 by that number. For 6:15 min/km: 15 ÷ 60 = 0.25, so 6.25 minutes, and 60 ÷ 6.25 = 9.6 km/h. Without decimals, divide 3,600 by the pace in seconds: 6:15 is 375 seconds, and 3,600 ÷ 375 = 9.6 km/h. At 5:00 min/km, the speed is 12 km/h; at 4:00 min/km, 15 km/h.
What is the difference between pace and speed?
Pace is the time it takes to cover one kilometre, expressed in minutes and seconds per kilometre (min/km). Speed is the distance covered in one hour, expressed in kilometres per hour (km/h). The two describe the same running rate from opposite directions: when speed goes up, pace goes down. 12 km/h and 5:00 min/km are exactly the same rate.
How do I read the conversion charts?
Each row pairs a pace, the matching speed and the time you get by holding that rate from start to finish over 5 km, 10 km, the half marathon (21.0975 km) and the marathon (42.195 km). The first chart goes by speed, the second by pace. For a target time, find the time closest to your target in the column for your distance and read the pace on the same row: 50:00 over 10 km is on the 5:00 min/km row, i.e. 12 km/h. These times assume a constant pace: they do not account for elevation, wind or fatigue.
How do I set a treadmill from a pace in min/km?
A treadmill is usually set in km/h: divide 60 by your pace in minutes to get the speed to enter. To run at 6:00 min/km, set 10 km/h; for 5:00 min/km, 12 km/h; for 4:00 min/km, 15 km/h. When the result is not exact, round to one decimal: 5:30 min/km is 60 ÷ 5.5, about 10.9 km/h.
