Race Pace Calculator

Use this race pace calculator to calculate your mile splits and help you better train for the endurance and speed you'll need on race day.

Knowing and training at your goal race pace wil help you get the feel for the effort you'll need to meet your goal. Training at (or faster than) 'race pace' should be limited to 1-2 sessions per week and should be only a fraction of the actual race distance. For example, 440 yards is an appropriate interval for the 5k race, while 1-mile intervals are more appropriate for the marathon.

Once you establish your Goal time , you can now start planning and training for the actual pace. In longer races, like the marathon, runners will wear wrist bands listing the goal mile splits for each mile.
