Knowledge

Pace – what does it actually mean?

Pace means step / tempo / speed and is mainly used by runners as a measure of speed. Pace is given in minutes per kilometer.

Calculating pace

You calculate pace by dividing the time needed (in minutes) by the distance covered (in kilometers). A runner runs 5 km in 30 minutes. What's their pace?

Example

Distance: 5 km

Run in: 30 minutes

Pace calculation: 30 min / 5 km = 6 min/km

It gets a bit more complicated with uneven values. If you run, for example, 10 km in 48 minutes, the calculation looks like this:

48 min / 10 km = 4.8 min/km
0.8 min × 60 = 48 seconds

So the pace is 4:48 min/km. With our tool / pace calculator you can skip the elaborate maths — just enter distance and time and the tool calculates your pace.

Frequently asked questions

How do you pronounce pace?

Pace is pronounced peɪs.

How can I improve my pace?

To improve your running pace you should train regularly. Alongside regular interval runs, slow runs / recovery runs are especially important.

What's a good pace?

There's no blanket answer, since that depends on your current fitness level and type. We recommend starting with targeted training using a heart rate monitor.

What pace when walking?

As a walking beginner, you can work your way up from a 15-minute pace (4 km/h). From a pace of 9.5 (6.5 km/h) it's called power walking.
