Running Pace Converter (min/km ↔ min/mile)
Convert between minutes per kilometer and minutes per mile in either direction.
Result
Pace in min/mile
8:03
5:00/km = 8:03/mi.
- Speed (km/h)12.00
- Speed (mph)7.46
- Conversion factor1 mile = 1.609344 km
Step-by-step
- Input: 5:00 per km = 300 seconds.
- Multiply by 1.609344 to get seconds per mile: 300 × 1.609344 = 482.8 s.
- Format: 8m 3s = 8:03/mi.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your pace as minutes and seconds.
- Pick conversion direction.
- Read converted pace plus speed in both km/h and mph.
About this calculator
A mile is 1.609344 km, so to convert min/km to min/mile, multiply by 1.609344. To go the other way, divide. The calculator shows the result formatted as mm:ss and gives you the equivalent km/h and mph speeds for treadmill use.
Frequently asked
A mile is longer than a kilometer, so each mile takes more time. A 5:00/km pace is about 8:03/mile — the same speed, just measured against a longer unit.
