7:00 per km pace
7:00 min/km is a steady, conversational pace for a lot of runners — often exactly where easy runs should sit. Here’s what it does over every distance, in plain maths — then the harder question of when to run it.

Race times at 7:00 per km
Every finish below assumes you hold 7:00 /km evenly the whole way — a useful yardstick, not a prediction. Real races fade; the pace calculator does the Riegel-adjusted version from a race you’ve actually run.
| Distance | Finish time | Pace /mi |
|---|---|---|
| Mile | 11:16 | 11:16 |
| 5K | 35:00 | 11:16 |
| 10K | 1:10:00 | 11:16 |
| 15K | 1:45:00 | 11:16 |
| Half marathon | 2:27:41 | 11:16 |

Is 7:00 per km a good pace?
Honestly, the number matters less than the day it lands on. 7:00 /km is a steady, conversational pace for a lot of runners — often exactly where easy runs should sit. If it’s your goal-race pace, most of your training should happen slower than this — the fastest way to a faster race is a pile of easy kilometres and a handful of hard ones, run on the right days. If it already feels easy, it’s a fine cruising pace to build your base on.
A pace chart can tell you the maths. It can’t tell you whether today is a day to hit it — that depends on your sleep, your legs, and the runs already behind you. That gap is exactly what Liftrun was built to close.
