by The Runner’s World EditorsIs It Okay to Take Breaks During a Long Run

Dan Fuehrer

Our pace charts show what time a given pace will produce for six common race distances: 5K, 5 miles, 10K, 10 miles, half marathon, and marathon. Charts like this are great way to see what pace you’ll need to average for a goal time.

For example, if you’re targeting sub-18 minutes for a 5K, you can easily see that you’ll need to run 5:47 per mile or faster according to the chart below. Knowing that pace, you can then structure your training accordingly to reach your goal. (Find more pace charts Learn to Pace Better in a Race With These Workouts.)
