How to use this calculator
- Enter the distance (km) and the time.
- Read your walking pace per km and speed.
How it works
Pace per km = time ÷ distance; speed = distance ÷ time.
Worked example
5 km in 50:00. = 10:00 /km (6 km/h).
Common mistakes
- Using a running stride or pace for walking — walking cadence and stride are shorter.
- Forgetting rest stops and hills, which lengthen real-world walk times.
Tips
- Times are estimates only — not medical or coaching advice. Always train safely and follow event rules.
- Distances are editable: choose “Custom…” to enter your own course lengths.
