10-mile pace chart
Ten miles is the distance runners use to find out whether a marathon pace is real. Find the pace you plan to hold on race day and see what it produces over a distance long enough to tell you the truth.

The ten-mile road race has quietly outlived most of the distances it competed with, because it sits at exactly the right point: long enough to be an endurance test, short enough to run hard three weeks out from a marathon. Ten miles at goal marathon pace is the classic rehearsal, and this chart is the simplest way to see what that means in finish-time terms.
The mile column is the natural one here, because the distance is defined in miles and the markers on almost every ten-mile course are too. The kilometer column is for watches, not for the course.

Compare the ten-mile and marathon columns on the same row. The gap is the entire argument for running a tune-up race slower than it feels you could.

The app
Take the numbers to the start line
Simple Pace Calculator is a free app for iPhone & iPad. Distance, time, pace and speed stay in sync while you edit any one of them, and a lock shows which value is being held fixed. All calculations work offline.
$2.99 (US), one-time unlocks two extra tools, once, with no subscription: Splits, for even, negative or positive pacing at any interval, and ETA, for working out when a runner reaches your spot on the course.
Everything on this page stays free on the web, whether or not you ever install anything.
