One-Mile Run Pace Calculator
Calculate your one-mile running pace and speed based on your target or actual completion time.
Calculating Your Mile Pace
Whether you are training for a 5K, a marathon, or just trying to pass a fitness test, tracking your 1-mile pace is critical for measuring improvement.
Why Track Pace?
Pace is a more granular metric than overall speed. By knowing exactly how many minutes and seconds it takes you to run a single mile, you can effectively structure interval training and predict your finish times for longer races.
