How to use the pace calculator
Pick your race distance, or choose Other and enter it in km. Then type in your finish time.
You get pace per km, pace per mile and average speed. Use it to plan race splits or work back from a target time.
What pace should I actually train at?
Race pace is only one number. Training uses six paces: easy, long, marathon, threshold, interval and repetition.
All six come from your VDOT score. Try the VDOT calculator, or build a free plan with every pace worked out.
Pace charts
The running pace chart lists every pace from 3:00 to 8:30 per km. Each row shows the finish time it gives at each distance.
For a goal time, the distance charts give the pace and the splits: the 5K pace chart, 10K pace chart, half marathon pace chart and marathon pace chart.
For training, the training paces page works out every pace from a 5K time.
