Reading the pace chart

Each row of the pace chart is one pace; each column a race distance. The cell shows the finish time at that constant pace. Rows step 15, 30 and 60 seconds per kilometre either side of the reference pace, so you can immediately see what shaving 15 s/km off your pace is worth over a marathon (about 10 minutes).

Reference paces worth knowing. 6:00 min/km finishes a 10K in 1:00:00 and a marathon in about 4:13. 5:41 min/km is a 4-hour marathon and a 2-hour half marathon. 5:00 min/km is 50:00 for the 10K and 3:31 for the marathon; 4:16 min/km is a 3-hour marathon. In miles: 8:00 min/mile ≈ 4:58 min/km, 10:00 min/mile ≈ 6:13 min/km.

Pace → speed. Divide 60 by the pace in decimal minutes: 5:30 min/km is 5.5 min, so 60 ÷ 5.5 = 10.9 km/h. For treadmill sessions set the speed that matches your target pace from the chart.

Milestone badges mark cells that land on a well-known barrier. If you want a full per-kilometre plan for one of these times, open the split calculator with that distance and target.
