How to read the chart
Find your pace per mile in the first column, then read across. The 400 m column is the time for one lap of a standard track at that pace. Finish times assume the same pace over the whole distance, so real races differ with hills, weather and pacing. The table is a real HTML table, so you can print the page and carry it to a race.

Other ways to convert pace
For a specific time and distance, use the mile pace calculator. For a treadmill display in mph, use the mph to min/mile converter. To change units, use the mile to km pace calculator or the speed to pace calculator. Start from a goal time with the 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon pace calculators.
