How do I calculate my running pace?

Pace is given in unit of time per unit of distance, whereas speed is distance over time. In order to count speed and pace all by yourself you need 2 formulas: Speed (km/h) = distance (km) / time (h) Pace (sec/km) = time (sec) / distance (km)

What is a good average pace for running?

A noncompetitive, relatively in-shape runner usually completes one mile in about 9 to 10 minutes, on average. If you’re new to running, you might run one mile in closer to 12 to 15 minutes as you build up endurance. Elite marathon runners average a mile in around 4 to 5 minutes.
