Convert km/h to min/km instantly — with a table, typical running paces, and a live calculator.
1 km/h equals 60 min/km.
Pace (min/km, min/mile) is time per distance, while speed (km/h, mph) is distance per time — the two are reciprocals. So a smaller pace number means a faster pace: 4 min/km is faster than 6 min/km. Double the speed and the pace number halves — the pace↔speed conversion follows a hyperbola. Concretely: km/h = 60 ÷ (min/km).

| 10 min/km | 6 km/h |
| Runner type | km/h | min/km |
|---|---|---|
| Easy jog (7:00/km) | 8.57 km/h | 7 min/km |
| Recreational (6:00/km) | 10 km/h | 6 min/km |
| Fit runner (5:00/km) | 12 km/h | 5 min/km |
| Marathon pace (4:30/km) | 13.33 km/h | 4.5 min/km |
| Fast amateur (4:00/km) | 15 km/h | 4 min/km |
| Elite (3:00/km) | 20 km/h | 3 min/km |
min/km is the standard metric running pace (minutes per kilometre); min/mile is the Anglo-American equivalent. Because a mile is 1.609344 km long, the min/mile figure is about 61% larger than the min/km figure for the same pace. km/h and mph are the matching speeds — higher is faster — with mph = km/h ÷ 1.609344. This tool shows pace as decimal minutes: 5.5 min/km means 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
Because pace and speed are reciprocals, you can never turn one into the other with a fixed multiplier — you always divide by the value. For more pairs, use our running pace conversion hub.
1 km/h equals 60 min/km.
12 km/h equals 5 min/km.
Pace (min/km or min/mile) is time per distance, while speed (km/h, mph) is distance per time — they are reciprocals. So a smaller pace number means a faster pace: 4 min/km is faster than 6 min/km. Double the speed and the pace number halves. Concretely: km/h = 60 ÷ (min/km).
min/km is how many minutes it takes to run one kilometre — the standard metric running pace. Through km/h = 60 ÷ (min/km) you can turn it into a speed in km/h. 5 min/km equals 12 km/h.
This tool shows pace as decimal minutes, not MM:SS. So 5.5 min/km means 5 minutes and 30 seconds per kilometre (0.5 minutes = 30 seconds). Decimals are easier to keep calculating with; for your watch, just convert the fractional part to seconds.
