How to read the pace conversion chart
Find your pace per kilometre, then read across for the matching speed and mile pace. The second table projects that pace over four race distances.
A conversion gives you the number. The coach turns it into easy runs, tempo work, and intervals for the week.
What speed is 5:00 per kilometre?
A pace of 5:00 per kilometre is 12.0 km/h, about 7.46 mph, and about 8:03 per mile.
How do I convert pace to speed?
