How to use this calculator

  1. Enter race distance in miles plus your goal or actual finish time.
  2. Choose the split distance and unit (mile or kilometer).
  3. We calculate pace per mile/km, split time for your interval, and how many splits fit in the race.

Inputs explained

Distance (miles)
Race distance in miles. Convert km to miles if needed (10K ≈ 6.213).
Finish time
Hours, minutes, and seconds for the entire race.
Split distance & unit
Interval you want splits for—1 mile, 1 km, or any custom distance.

How it works

We convert finish time into total minutes, divide by distance to get pace per mile.

Per-kilometer pace uses the 1 mile = 1.60934 km conversion.

Split time multiplies pace by your chosen interval (mile or km). Split count = total distance ÷ split distance.

Formula

Pace/mile = Total minutes ÷ Distance_mi
Pace/km = Pace/mile ÷ 1.60934
Split time = Pace/mile × Split_distance_mi

When to use it

  • Building pacing charts for half/full marathons with custom mile or km splits.
  • Planning treadmill workouts by converting race pace into per-interval times.
  • Checking whether negative-split goals align with your target finish time.

Tips & cautions

  • Round split times to the nearest second for practical pacing.
  • If you train in kilometers, set split unit to km even if the race distance is entered in miles.
  • Adjust split distances to match track intervals (e.g., 0.25 miles for 400m equivalents).
  • Assumes an even pace across the entire distance—does not model changing effort or terrain.
  • Requires distance in miles for the main input; convert km races manually before entry.
  • Does not provide cumulative split table; multiply split time by split index for a rough guide.

Worked examples

Half marathon in 1:45:00 with mile splits

  • Pace ≈ 8:01 per mile
  • Per km ≈ 4:59
  • Split count = 13.1 splits

10K goal of 45:00 with 1 km splits

  • Split distance = 1 km
  • Pace ≈ 4:30 per km
  • Split count = 10

Deep dive

Turn finish times into per-mile and per-kilometer splits by entering distance, goal time, and your preferred split length.

Perfect for race pacing plans, treadmill settings, and custom interval charts without spreadsheet math.

FAQs

Can I enter kilometers for race distance?
Enter the kilometer number converted to miles (e.g., 10K ≈ 6.213). A future update may add a dedicated toggle.
Does it show cumulative split times?
We provide per-split timing and the number of splits. Multiply split time by the split index for cumulative marks.
