Running pace chart

10K Pace Chart

Choose a 10K finishing time from 30:00 to 1:20:00 and see the exact pace per kilometre, pace per mile, track splits and treadmill speed needed to hit it.

Find your goal time, then train to the pace.

The table converts finishing time into the pace and split figures you need to hit. Use the race pace as a target, not as the pace for every training run. Easy running should stay easier; intervals, tempo work and race-specific sessions are where the faster numbers become useful.

10K target times and splits

On a phone, swipe the table sideways to see every split and treadmill speed.

Need exact maths?

Use the calculators.

If your goal falls between two rows, the Target Race Pace Calculator gives the exact pace and the Running Split Calculator handles custom distances and repetitions.

Turn pace into training

Choose the right plan.

A race target only matters if the training matches it. Use the RunningFastr plan hub or Plan Finder to move from a goal time into a structured block.

Pace chart FAQs

Common questions

What pace is a 40-minute 10K?

A 40:00 10K requires an average pace of 4:00 per kilometre or about 6:26 per mile. Each 400m split is about 1:36 at even pace.

What pace is a 50-minute 10K?

A 50:00 10K requires an average pace of 5:00 per kilometre or about 8:03 per mile.

Should I use 10K race pace for all of my training?

No. Race pace is only one training intensity. Easy runs should stay easier, while some interval sessions may be faster. Use the Training Pace Calculator to turn a recent performance into a fuller set of training paces.
