How to Use the Running Pace Calculator
Enter any two of distance, time, and pace, and the calculator solves for the third — enter a distance and target pace to find finish time, or a distance and desired finish time to find the required pace, or a recent time and distance to predict a finish time at a different distance.
The Running Pace Calculator solves for whichever value you don't already know — here's how to use it for a few common scenarios.
Finding a finish time from pace and distance
Enter a target pace and the race distance to see the resulting finish time — useful for setting a concrete time goal based on a pace that feels sustainable in training.
Finding the pace needed for a target finish time
Enter a distance and a target finish time to see the exact pace needed to hit that goal — useful for planning training runs at the specific pace a race goal actually requires.
Predicting a finish time at a different distance
Enter a recent race or time trial result at one distance to get a predicted finish time at a different distance, using a standard race prediction formula — as covered in the worked example guide, treat this as a useful training benchmark, refined by actual distance-specific training.
