This pace converter lines up the four ways runners and treadmills express the same speed: minutes per mile, minutes per kilometer, miles per hour (mph), and kilometers per hour (km/h). Find any value in the chart and read the equivalents across the row.
Pace (minutes per distance) and speed (distance per hour) are reciprocals: a faster pace is a smaller number, while a faster speed is a bigger one. To convert per-mile pace to per-kilometer, multiply by 0.621; a mile is about 1.609 km. For an exact conversion from any value you type, the main calculator shows your speed in mph or km/h as you enter a pace.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert min/mile to min/km?
Multiply your per-mile pace by 0.621. For example, 8:00 per mile × 0.621 ≈ 4:58 per kilometer. The chart lists common conversions directly.
How do I convert pace to mph?
Divide 60 by your pace in minutes per mile. An 8:00 mile (8.0 minutes) is 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 mph. The converter shows mph and km/h for each pace.
What's the difference between pace and speed?
Pace is time per distance (minutes per mile/km); speed is distance per time (mph or km/h). They describe the same effort — one is just the inverse of the other.
