Pace Calculator
Enter any distance (km or miles) and your finish time to instantly calculate your running pace per kilometre or mile. Works for any distance — track intervals, 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon.
Race Time Predictor
ChaseTime uses the Riegel formula — T2 = T1 × (D2 / D1)1.06 — to predict how fast you can race at other distances. Used by coaches worldwide to set realistic race goals.
Treadmill Speed Converter
Convert your outdoor running pace (min/km or min/mile) to the treadmill speed setting in km/h or mph. Never do the maths in your head again.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How accurate is the race time predictor?
- The Riegel formula is accurate within 2–5% for most runners across distances from 5K to marathon, when the reference effort is a recent, all-out race.
- What is the Riegel formula?
- The Riegel formula (T2 = T1 × (D2 / D1)1.06) was published by Pete Riegel in 1977. ChaseTime uses the standard exponent of 1.06 for road running.
- How do I calculate my running pace?
- Divide your finish time by distance — e.g. a 55-minute 10K = 5:30/km. ChaseTime calculates this instantly as you type.
- What treadmill speed equals a 5:00/km pace?
- 5:00/km = 12.0 km/h (60 ÷ 5 = 12). Use the Treadmill tab to convert any pace instantly.
