Pace to Speed Formula

Pace is the time required to cover one unit of distance. Speed is the distance covered in one unit of time. To convert pace to speed, divide the distance by the pace expressed in hours.

If the pace is given per mile, the distance is one mile. If the pace is given per kilometre, the distance is one kilometre.

Pace to Speed Variables

You need the pace value and the distance unit used by that pace.

Pace Type

Whether the pace is stated per mile or per kilometre.

Minutes and Seconds

The time required to cover one mile or one kilometre.

Miles per Hour, Kilometres per Hour

The equivalent average speed.

How the Calculation Works

Convert the pace to total hours, then divide one unit of distance by that time.

1. Add the minutes and seconds into one pace value.
2. Convert that pace to hours.
3. Divide one mile or one kilometre by the pace in hours, then convert between mph and kph.

Pace to Speed Example

What speed corresponds to a pace of 8:00 per mile?

A pace of 8 minutes per mile is about 7.50 mph or 12.07 kph.
