The Running Pace Calculator converts your distance and finish time into pace (min/km, min/mi) and speed (km/h, mph). It supports metric & US units (km/mi) with race presets (5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon) or a custom distance.
Knowing your running pace helps set realistic goals, plan negative splits, and project finish times for upcoming races. Pair it with VO₂ Max and Heart Rate Zones to structure training by effort.
