Pace, time, splits — solved
Pick a distance, give a target time to get the pace it demands — or give a pace to get your finish time — and read the full splits table in kilometres or miles. Running pace is just time divided by distance; the discipline is holding it, and that starts with knowing the number.

Asked often
- How do I work out my running pace?
- Divide your finish time by the distance: a 50:00 10K is 5:00 per kilometre (about 8:03 per mile). This calculator does the division — and the reverse: give it a pace and distance and it returns your finish time with every split.
- What pace do I need for common goals?
- A 4-hour marathon needs 5:41/km, a 2-hour half needs 5:41/km too, a 50-minute 10K needs 5:00/km, and a 25-minute 5K needs 5:00/km. Same paces, very different efforts — distance is the multiplier.
- Should I pace in minutes per kilometre or per mile?
- Whichever your watch and race markers use — the calculator shows both. UK and European races mark kilometres; US races mark miles. What matters is knowing your target in the unit you'll actually see on course.
Knowing the pace is easy. Holding it is coached.
RunV's live audio coaching keeps you on these numbers mid-run — and its plans are built from the same arithmetic. Browse goal-time training plans to see the structure behind the splits.
