How the conversion works
Frequently asked questions
What pace should I run on a treadmill to lose weight?
A steady jogging pace of 7–9 km/h (6:40–8:34 min/km) is effective for fat burning. At this zone you work at 60–70% of max heart rate — the classic fat-burning zone. Consistency over 30–45 minutes matters more than speed.
Is treadmill pace the same as outdoor running pace?
Not exactly. Treadmills lack wind resistance, making them slightly easier. Many runners set the treadmill incline to 1–2% to better simulate outdoor effort. Your pace may appear 5–15 seconds per km faster indoors.
What is 10 km/h on a treadmill in min/km?
10 km/h = 6:00 min/km. This is a comfortable jogging pace for most moderately fit adults. It translates to a 1-hour 10K or approximately 4:13 per mile.
How do I convert min/km to km/h?
Divide 60 by the pace in minutes. For example, 5:00 min/km = 60 ÷ 5 = 12 km/h. For pace like 5:30 (5.5 minutes), do 60 ÷ 5.5 = 10.9 km/h.
Are the calorie estimates accurate?
They are estimates based on MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values and your body weight. Individual calorie burn varies based on fitness level, body composition, and running efficiency. Use them as a rough guide, not exact figures.
