Min Mile to Min KM — 3 Quick Pace Charts

Written by Noleen Arendse

One min mile to min km is 0.62 or you can multiply your minutes per mile time by 1.609. For example, if you run 6 minutes per mile, your min per km time would be 3:43.

If you’re used to running at a minute per mile pace, you might feel a little lost when it comes to minutes per kilometer. However, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with our quick and easy pace charts. 

To make it even easier, we have 3 pace charts that cover 4 to 6:55 min mile to min km, 7 to 8:55 min mile to min km and 9 to 13:55 min mile to min km.

Minutes per mile to minutes per km

Converting min mile to min km (minutes per mile  to minutes per kilometer) is useful when you need to compare running pace in different countries or for different race distances. 

For example, if you’re used to running in minutes per mile and decide to run a 5K, you’ll want to know your pace in minutes per kilometer so that you can work out your average 5K run time by age . You can then calculate your expected time to complete the race. For more on 5Ks, including halfway times and splits, use this 5K pace chart.

Also, sometimes fitness apps might default to one unit of measurement over another — knowing how to convert the pace will make it easier for you to track your progress. 

1 mile is 1.609 kilometers. To convert min mile to min km, divide the minutes run for 1 mile by 1.609 and round it off to the nearest two decimal points.

What is minutes per mile (min mile)?

Minutes per mile (min/mile) is a measurement used to express running pace. It’s the time it takes to run one mile.

The faster the runner, the lower the minutes per mile pace will be. For example, someone who runs 4 min/mile will be faster than someone who runs 8 min/mile. 

What is minutes per kilometre or kilometer (min km)?

Minutes per kilometer, or kilometres if you use UK English, is a unit of measurement that expresses running pace and the time it takes to run 1 kilometer (km). It’s typically used in countries that use the metric system. 

The faster the running, the lower the number. For example, a runner who runs a 6 min/km will be faster than someone who runs 8 min/km. 

Which countries use min per mile and which min per km?

Countries that use the imperial system, such as the USA, UK, and Liberia, generally use minutes per mile (min/mile) for running pace. 

Minutes per kilometer (or kilometre) is used in countries that use the metric system such as Europe, Africa, Australia, and South America.

However, sometimes runners might use or swap between min mile and min km depending on the race or if they’re following a training plan from a different country. For example, if they’re from South Africa, they might want to run a famous race in the USA that’s in miles. With apps such as Zwift and virtual running events, it’s becoming more common to swap between the two depending on the event and app. 

How do you convert min miles to min km?

To convert minutes per mile (min/mile) to minutes per kilometer (min/km), use the following formula:

1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers

To convert a pace from minutes per mile to minutes per kilometer, multiply the min per mile (the time to run one mile) value by 1.60934.

As an example, if your pace is 8 min/mile, you can convert it to min/km as follows:

8 min/mile x 1.60934 = 12.87472 min/km (rounded to two decimal places)

An 8 min/mile is therefore equivalent to approximately 12.87 min/km.
