General Pace Calculator
Solve for any variable in the distance-time-pace equation. This tool is perfect for athletes training for anything from a 5k to an Ironman triathlon.
What is pace and how is it different from speed?
Speed is how far you go in a set time (e.g., 6 mph). Pace is how long it takes to go a set distance (e.g., 10 minutes per mile). Runners and swimmers usually use pace to track their intensity.
How do I calculate my running pace?
Divide your total time by your total distance. For example, if you ran 5 miles in 50 minutes, your pace is 10 minutes per mile (50 / 5 = 10).
What is a good marathon pace?
This depends on your goal. To finish under 4 hours, you need a pace of 9:09 per mile. For a 3-hour marathon, the pace is 6:52 per mile.
Can I calculate pace for swimming?
Yes! Swimming pace is typically measured per 100 meters or 100 yards. This calculator allows you to choose your distance unit to match your sport.
