Running Pace Conversion Chart, Letter

Marathon training paces cluster between 4:00 and 8:00 per mile for competitive recreational through BQ chasers. This competitive-range chart uses 15-second steps so 6:30/mi and 6:45/mi sit on separate rows, finer than the full-spectrum poster.

Use it during winter treadmill blocks when the group text says "marathon pace" but the belt lists mph. Highlight your goal marathon pace below (many runners target 7:00–9:00/mi) before printing.

On race day you still want cumulative mile splits, generate a pace band for the exact finish time instead of this lookup table.

Half marathon pace sits slightly faster than marathon effort for most runners, often in the 5:30–7:30/mi window. The competitive range chart with 15-second resolution makes tempo and race-pace rows easy to distinguish on one Letter page.

Tape a copy inside your gym locker or slide one into a fuel-belt pocket for track workouts quoted in min/mi while the indoor loop is marked in km. Controls on this page adjust highlight pace and paper size.

This chart converts units; it does not build 13.1-mile split tables. Use pace bands for wrist-ready cumulative times.

5K race pace pushes toward the fast end of the competitive range, often 4:30–7:00/mi for trained adults. Fifteen-second row steps matter when 30 seconds per mile separates a PR from a blow-up.

Highlight your target 5K pace below before printing for interval sessions on the treadmill. MPH column helps set belt speed for 800 m repeats when the workout plan lists mile pace.

Short races still deserve mile-by-mile planning on race morning, pace bands cover 5K through marathon distances.

Treadmill consoles show mph; training plans show min/mi. This recreational-range chart emphasizes the overlap zone where most indoor runs happen, 5:00 to 15:00 per mile with mph on every row.

Tape it to the wall behind the treadmill or prop it on the console lip. 8:00/mi reads as 7.5 mph; 10:00/mi as 6.0 mph. Highlight your easy pace in the controls on this page so you spot the right row without scanning forty lines mid-run.

Belt speed is no substitute for outdoor pacing skill, but a paper chart keeps intervals honest when GPS is unavailable.
