Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use a running pace chart?
Find your target pace per mile in the left column, then read across to see your projected finish time for that race distance. Use pace charts to set realistic race goals, plan mile splits, and track progress during training.
What is a good 5K pace for beginners?
A good beginner 5K pace is typically 10-12 minutes per mile, resulting in finish times of 31-37 minutes. Focus on completing the distance comfortably before worrying about speed.
How do I convert min/mile to min/km?
To convert minutes per mile to minutes per kilometer, divide by 1.60934. For example, 8:00/mile equals approximately 4:58/km. Use our conversion chart for quick reference.
What marathon pace should I target?
Your marathon pace should be about 1-2 minutes per mile slower than your 10K pace. For a sub-4 hour marathon, target 9:09/mile or faster. Use your recent race times to predict realistic marathon goals.
How accurate are pace chart predictions?
Pace charts assume you can maintain consistent effort across the distance. Actual race times depend on training, weather, course profile, and race-day execution. Use charts as starting points, not guarantees.
