Running Speed and Pace
Converting 分 Per Mile to MPH and More
Get the ConversionsRunners think in pace—minutes per mile or kilometer. Treadmills display speed in mph or km/h. Race results might show either. 理解する how to convert between pace and speed helps you set treadmill workouts, compare performances, and plan race strategies.

Conversion Formulas
Min/Mile ↔ MPH
- Pace to speed: 60 ÷ pace (in decimal minutes) = mph
- Speed to pace: 60 ÷ mph = pace (in decimal minutes)
Example: 8:30/mile = 8.5 min → 60 ÷ 8.5 = 7.06 mph
Min/Km ↔ KM/H
- Pace to speed: 60 ÷ pace (in decimal minutes) = km/h
- Speed to pace: 60 ÷ km/h = pace (in decimal minutes)
Mile to Kilometer Pace
- Min/mile to min/km: Multiply by 0.621
- Min/km to min/mile: Multiply by 1.609

Effort Levels by Pace
| Effort Level | Typical Pace Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Easy/Recovery | 9:00-12:00/mi | Conversational, relaxed |
| Long Run | 8:00-10:00/mi | Comfortable, sustainable |
| Tempo/Threshold | 7:00-8:00/mi | Comfortably hard |
| Interval (5K pace) | 6:00-7:00/mi | Hard, focused |
| Sprint/Repetition | Below 6:00/mi | Maximum effort |
These ranges vary significantly based on fitness level.
まとめ
Converting between pace (min/mile) and speed (mph) is straightforward: divide 60 by one to get the other. An 8-minute mile pace equals 7.5 mph; a 6.0 mph treadmill setting means a 10-minute mile. 理解する both systems helps you train effectively whether you're running outdoors with a GPS watch or on a treadmill displaying speed.
