min / mile
Running math can be tricky because time is base-60, not base-10. This tool handles the conversion automatically.
Here are some benchmark times runners often aim for:
Requires a pace of 9:39 /mile (6:00 /km).
Requires a pace of 9:09 /mile (5:41 /km).
Requires a pace of roughly 6:52 /mile (4:16 /km).
For most beginners, 10 to 12 minutes per mile is a solid training pace. Don't worry about speed initially; focus on endurance.
Treadmills can vary in calibration. Outdoor GPS watches are generally considered more accurate for pace tracking.
