Convert km/h to min/mile instantly — with a table, typical running paces, and a live calculator.
1 km/h equals 96.56 min/mile.
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).

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 96.56 min/mile.
12 km/h equals 8.05 min/mile.
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).
A mile is 1.609344 km long — longer than a kilometre. For the same speed, the min/mile figure is therefore about 61% larger than the min/km figure: 5 min/km is about 8.05 min/mile. Speeds work the same way — mph is km/h divided by 1.609344.
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.
