Distance (km)
The “Distance (km)” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.
Time (minutes)
The “Time (minutes)” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.
min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.
Pace is time divided by distance. Type kilometers and minutes (decimals allowed: 28.5). You get min/km and min/mile. A 5 km in 28:00 is 5:36 /km or about 9:01 /mi. Watches already do this; this page is for the spreadsheet on the kitchen table.

Watches already do this; this page is for the spreadsheet on the kitchen table. min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344. Scenario: 10 km in 50 min → 5:00 /km (8:03 /mi). 42.2 km in 240 min → 5:41 /km.
min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.

When to use this Running Pace
Common use cases
- Pace is time divided by distance. Type kilometers and minutes (decimals allowed: 28.5). You get min/km and min/mile. A 5 km in 28:00 is 5:36 /km or about 9:01 /mi. Watches already do this; this page is for the spreadsheet on the kitchen table.
- Sanity-check with this scenario: 10 km in 50 min → 5:00 /km (8:03 /mi). 42.2 km in 240 min → 5:41 /km.
- The relationship is: min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.
Localized examples
- Unit Converters: the example on this page uses the same formula as the widget.
What you get
- Fields: Distance (km), Time (minutes)
- min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.
- Scenario on the page: 10 km in 50 min → 5:00 /km (8:03 /mi). 42.2 km in 240 min → 5:41 /km.
How to Convert Running Pace
- 1Enter Distance (km), Time (minutes). Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
- 2min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.
- 3Scenario: 10 km in 50 min → 5:00 /km (8:03 /mi). 42.2 km in 240 min → 5:41 /km.
- 4Check which dictionary the other person is using — US or UK, decimal or 1,024 — then trust the number.
Governing formula
min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.
10 km in 50 min → 5:00 /km (8:03 /mi). 42.2 km in 240 min → 5:41 /km.
10 km in 50 min → 5:00 /km (8:03 /mi). 42.2 km in 240 min → 5:41 /km.
Variable definitions
- distanceKm
Distance (km)
The “Distance (km)” field. Default 5; typical range 0.1–100.
- minutes
Time (minutes)
The “Time (minutes)” field. Default 28; typical range 0.1–2000.
- The conversion (min/km = total_minutes ÷ km. min/mile = min/km × 1.609344.) does not pick US vs UK gallons, SI vs binary megabytes, or Mach at altitude for you. Read the footnote on the page.

A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.
