Finish Line Labs

Know your pace.
Predict your race.

Enter a recent time and see what you could run at every distance from the mile to the marathon.

Race predictor

Enter a recent race or hard effort.

Predictions use the Riegel formula and assume you train for the longer distance. Marathon predictions from short races, and mile predictions from long races, tend to be optimistic.

Training paces

Based on the race time you entered above.

Paces come from the Daniels VDOT model and are estimates. Slow down in heat, on hills, or when tired. This is general training information, not medical advice.

Pace calculator

Turn a time into a pace, or a pace into a finish time.

Speed to mile pace chart

Every 0.2 mph from 5 to 25 and the mile pace it equals. Whole mph rows are shaded. Handy for treadmills.

How to use the running calculators

Free tools for planning workouts, treadmill runs and race goals.

Predict a 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon time

Choose a recent race distance and enter your finish time in the race predictor. Finish Line Labs estimates equivalent times for other distances using the Riegel formula. These are estimates rather than guarantees: endurance, training, terrain and weather all affect race-day results.

Calculate running pace or finish time

Use the pace calculator to convert a distance and finish time into minutes per mile or kilometer. Switch to finish-time mode to find how long a run would take at your target pace. The calculator also shows equivalent treadmill speeds in mph and km/h.

Find training paces and treadmill speeds

The training paces table estimates easy, tempo, interval and repetition efforts from your entered race performance using a VDOT-based model. For treadmill running, expand the speed-to-mile-pace chart to compare speeds from 5 to 25 mph with their equivalent mile paces.
