5k Pace Calculator
The 5k pace calculator is here to help you find the pace at which you ran your last 5k race! With our tool, you'll get your precise pace. But if you don't remember your exact finish time, below we created a 5k pace chart where you can check approximated paces for different finish times.
How to calculate 5k pace?
To calculate your 5k pace, you need to divide the finish time by the distance of the race.
Pace = Finish time / Distance
Be careful while doing calculations with time. It's easy to make a mistake. To calculate pace, it's easiest if you convert the finish time to minutes. You can learn how to do that in time to decimal calculator.
Also, if you're used to metric units, your distance equals 5 km. To convert 5k to miles, divide it by 1.6093.
5k = 5 / 1.6093 = 3.107 miles
Let's say you ran 5k, and your time is 25:36.17. To find your pace:
-
First, convert the time to minutes: 25:36.17 is equal to 25.603 minutes.
-
Divide it by the distance:
-
25.603 min / 5 km = 5.121 min/km = 5 min 7 s per km -
25.603 min / 3.107 mi = 8.24 min/mi = 8 min 14 s per mi
