Pace Calculation:

  • rh =

    Hours portion of your time spent running the distance below

  • rm =

    Minutes portion of your time spent running the distance below

  • rs =

    Seconds portion of your time spent running the distance below

  •  d =

    Distance covered in the timed run

  • du =

    Distance unit that your run distance is measured in

  • pu =

    Units to output your pace measurement

  • om =

    Minutes portion of your run pace scaled for one output distance unit

  • os =

    Seconds portion of your run pace scaled for one output distance unit

  • ou =

    Output pace dimensions. Metric or Imperial/US Customary.

Pace Formula

In running pace is a useful metric for monitoring your progress and level of fitness. Pace measures a set distance in units of time. Typically a pace is given as the time required to run one kilometre or one mile. Pace can be calculated from any combination of known distance and time.

PACE = TOTAL TIME / DISTANCE

If the time was not measured in the distance dimensions that will be used to express the pace a conversion factor must be applied.

PACE = TOTAL TIME / (DISTANCE * FACTOR)

Pace Variables

Input variables are time and distance. Output variables are the pace, which consists of time per distance.

Run: Hours (rh)
Hours portion of your measured running time, if any.
Run: Minutes (rm)
Minutes portion of your measured running time.
Run: Seconds (rs)
Seconds portion of your measured running time.
Run: Distance (d)
Distance that your run time was measured over.
Distance Units (du)
Units of length that your run is measured in. Input a distance of kilometres, miles, metres, or yards.
Pace Units (pu)
Time per distance dimension that you would like your output pace to be calculated in.
Pace: Minutes (om)
Minutes portion of the calculated pace.
Pace: Seconds (os)
Seconds portion of the calculated pace.
Pace Units (ou)
Dimensions of the calculated pace. Time per Kilometre or Time Per Mile.

Pace Solution

If a run of 5km is run in 30 minutes what is the pace in time per kilometres?

  • PACE = TOTAL TIME / DISTANCE
  • The formula for running pace calculation. Since the distance is measured in the same dimensions that will be part of the pace dimensions there is no needs for a conversion factor
  • PACE = 00:30:00 / 5
  • Substitute in the time and distance
  • PACE = 6
  • Calculate the pace. Converting time to seconds may make it easier when dealing with times that have hours, minutes, and seconds
  • 6:00 Minutes per Kilometre

A 5km run timed at exactly 30 minutes and 0 seconds is a pace of exactly 6 Minutes per Kilometre.
