Frequently asked questions
What is a good running pace for beginners?
A comfortable pace for most beginner runners is 7:00–9:00 per km (11:00–14:00 per mile), or approximately 7–9 km/h. The right pace is one where you can hold a conversation - if you cannot speak in full sentences, you are going too fast.
How do I convert km/h to min/km?
Divide 60 by your km/h speed. For example, 10 km/h → 60 ÷ 10 = 6:00 per km. Alternatively, use this calculator and it does the conversion automatically.
What pace is a 4-hour marathon?
A 4-hour marathon requires an average pace of 5:41 per km (9:09 per mile) or approximately 10.6 km/h.
