How Pace Conversion Works
Running pace and speed are two sides of the same coin. Pace measures time per unit of distance (minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer), while speed measures distance per unit of time (miles per hour or kilometers per hour). Runners prefer pace because it maps directly to race splits and workout targets.
The conversion between miles and kilometers uses the factor 1.60934. One mile equals 1.60934 kilometers. To convert min/mile to min/km, divide by 1.60934. To convert min/km to min/mile, multiply by 1.60934. To convert between pace and speed, divide 60 by the pace in minutes to get speed per hour, or divide 60 by speed to get pace.
Treadmill displays show speed rather than pace, which is why treadmill runners often need to convert. A treadmill set to 7.0 mph is running at 8:34 per mile or 5:19 per km. This converter handles every direction instantly so you never have to do the math in your head.

MoteraFrequently Asked Questions
How do I convert min/mile to min/km?
Divide your minutes per mile pace by 1.60934. For example, an 8:00 per mile pace equals 4:58 per kilometer. You can also use the converter on this page to get instant results in all units at once.
How do I convert min/km to min/mile?
Multiply your minutes per kilometer by 1.60934. For example, a 5:00 per km pace equals 8:03 per mile. The conversion factor is the number of kilometers in a mile.
How do I convert mph to running pace?
Divide 60 by your speed in miles per hour. For example, 7.5 mph equals 60 divided by 7.5, which is 8:00 per mile. To get min/km from mph, divide 60 by mph and then divide by 1.60934.
What is 10 kph in running pace?
10 kph equals 6:00 per kilometer, which is 9:39 per mile. This is a moderate jogging pace suitable for many recreational runners doing easy or recovery runs.
What treadmill speed equals an 8 minute mile?
An 8:00 per mile pace equals 7.5 mph on a treadmill. Set your treadmill to 7.5 mph and you will complete each mile in exactly 8 minutes.
Is pace or speed better for runners?
Most runners use pace (minutes per mile or km) because it directly maps to race planning and split times. Speed (mph or kph) is more common on treadmills. Both measure the same thing from opposite perspectives. This converter lets you work in whichever unit you prefer.
How do I calculate race finish time from pace?
Multiply your pace (in minutes per unit) by the race distance (in the same unit). For example, an 8:00/mile pace over 3.1 miles (5K) gives 24:48. The race time tool on this page does this calculation for you automatically.
What is a good pace for beginner runners?
Most beginners run between 10:00 and 13:00 per mile (6:13 to 8:05 per km), which equals 4.6 to 6.0 mph. The best pace is one where you can hold a conversation comfortably. Speed improves naturally with consistent training.
