The basics
What is Running Pace Converter?
Runners think in pace (minutes per km or mile); treadmills and bikes show speed (km/h or mph). This converts any one into all four, so you can translate a treadmill setting into your race pace, or compare efforts across units. Enter pace as decimal minutes — for example 4.5 means 4 minutes 30 seconds.
