How do I convert between speed and pace?
Pace to Speed
To convert pace (minutes/mile) to speed (miles/hour), divide 60 by the pace. Here are some examples:
12 minute mile:
10 minutes 15 seconds per mile:
- First, convert seconds to minutes
- 15 seconds = 0.25 minutes (60 ÷ 15)
- 10 + 0.25 = 10.25
- Then, compute speed as described above:
- 60 ÷ 10.25 = 5.85 miles/hour
Speed to Pace
To convert speed (miles/hour) to pace (minutes/mile), divide 60 by the speed. Here are some examples:
10 miles per hour:
4.5 miles per hour:
- 60 ÷ 4.5 = 13.33 minutes per mile (which is 13 min. 20 sec. / mile)
