Treadmill Pace Conversion Calculator

About this calculator

Treadmills in the US typically display speed in miles per hour rather than pace, so converting that speed into minutes-per-mile or minutes-per-kilometer pace requires inverting and rescaling the units — dividing 60 by the mph figure gives minutes per mile, and applying the kilometer-to-mile conversion factor (1.60934) gives the equivalent metric speed and pace as well.

Runners training on a treadmill but racing or tracking mileage in pace terms (as most running plans and race results are expressed) use this conversion constantly to translate a treadmill's speed readout into the pace language their training plan uses, and it's also useful for comparing a treadmill workout directly against outdoor runs logged in pace rather than speed.

This calculator takes your treadmill speed in mph and returns your running pace per mile and per kilometer, along with the equivalent speed in km/h.
