Paste one conversion per line, written the way you would say it: "5 km to mi". Handy for a column copied out of a spreadsheet.

About this tool

Converts between speeds and running or swimming pace. Pace is the reason this is not a plain multiplication table: minutes per kilometre is the reciprocal of speed, so a smaller number means a faster athlete, and the converter handles that rather than scaling it.

Good to know

Questions people actually ask

How do I turn a speed into running pace?
Pick min/km as the target unit. 12 km/h is a 5:00 pace; the converter shows both the decimal minutes and the minutes-and-seconds form a watch would display.
Is Mach a fixed speed?
No. The speed of sound depends on air temperature, so Mach 1 is about 340 m/s at sea level and closer to 295 m/s at cruising altitude. This converter uses the sea-level ISA value and labels it as a reference figure.
