About this tool
This page opens the running pace calculator with a 5K in 30:00 already filled in: the required pace is 6:00 per kilometer, which equals 9:39 per mile or a steady 10.0 km/h (6.2 mph).
Finishing a 5K under 30 minutes is the classic first big goal after couch-to-5K plans — a pace brisk enough to feel like real running but sustainable with a few weeks of practice. The splits are easy to remember: 6:00 per kilometer, 12:00 at 2 km, 18:00 at 3 km, 24:00 at 4 km.
Adjust the time to see what a 28- or 27-minute 5K demands, or switch to the predictor mode to see what this result suggests for a 10K or a half marathon.
Example. Five kilometers in 25:00 is a pace of 5:00 per kilometer and 8:03 per mile.
Limit. Race-time predictions use the Riegel exponent 1.06 on the built-in distances 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon.
