Run Walk Pace Calculator

Combine a run pace, walk pace, and interval pattern into one average pace and finish time.

Enter both paces as minutes per mile, then enter the run and walk interval lengths.

Calculator

Enter your numbers, then select Calculate.

How the calculator works

The calculator finds the distance covered during each run and walk segment, divides cycle distance by cycle time, and projects that average speed across the target distance.

How to use the result

Use the result as a consistent planning number. Record the inputs with the answer so a later comparison uses the same method.

Recalculate when the underlying inputs change. Avoid comparing results created with different units, measurement methods, or machine settings.

What the result does not include

The last partial interval can make the actual finish time slightly different. Hills, aid stops, and pace drift are not included.

Frequently asked questions

Should the intervals be entered in minutes?

Yes. Decimal values work, so 0.5 represents 30 seconds.

Does the calculator assume equal run and walk distances?

No. It uses the distance covered at each pace during the entered interval length.
