Pace formulas

pace = time ÷ distance time = pace × distance distance = time ÷ pace speed (km/h) = 60 ÷ pace (min/km)

Example: 5 km in 25:00 is 25 ÷ 5 = 5:00 per km, or 8:03 per mile (12 km/h).

Race-time prediction

Predictions use Peter Riegel’s endurance formula (1977), popular with runners and coaches:

T₂ = T₁ × (D₂ ÷ D₁)^1.06

A 25:00 5K predicts about 52:07 for 10K and about 4:00 for the marathon if you train properly for the longer distance.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good 5K pace?

It depends on age and training; many recreational runners finish between 25 and 35 minutes (5:00–7:00 per km).

How do I convert pace per km to pace per mile?

Multiply by 1.609344. 5:00/km × 1.609 = 8:03/mile.

How accurate is the Riegel formula?

It works well between similar distances; marathon predictions from a 5K are often optimistic.
