Pace Converter
Convert running or walking pace from minutes per kilometre to speed (km/h and m/s).
10.00 km/h
Speed
| Speed | 10.00 km/h |
| Speed | 2.78 m/s |
| Time for 10 km | 60 min |
The pace converter turns your running or walking pace from minutes per kilometre into speed, in both kilometres per hour and metres per second. It makes the same effort easy to read in whatever unit you happen to use.
How the calculator works and what it’s for▾
How the conversion works
Speed in kilometres per hour is found by dividing 60 by your pace in minutes per kilometre: speed = 60 / pace. For example, 6 min/km equals 10 km/h.
Metres per second comes from dividing that speed further, and the calculator also shows an estimated time for ten kilometres at the same pace.
What you enter and what you get
Enter your pace as minutes per kilometre, the way running watches and apps usually display it.
You receive your speed in kilometres per hour and metres per second, plus an estimate of how long 10 kilometres would take at that pace.
Who it is for
The converter is handy for runners, walkers and fitness enthusiasts who want to match a treadmill's km/h reading with an outdoor min/km pace.
It also helps you interpret old results or foreign training plans where pace and speed are given in different units.
Tips for use
Use the converter to plan a target pace: if you want to run 10 kilometres in a set time, try different paces and see which one lands on your goal.
Remember that terrain, wind and elevation affect real pace, so the converter describes a steady effort under ideal conditions.
