MPH to KM/hr to Min/Mile to Min/Kilometer ... and back again!
My new tredmill works in Miles and MPH only. My brain, unfortunately works in kilometers and km/hr only.
Some treadmills have a "magic-button-sequence" that converts from MPH to km/hr automatically - mine doesn't.
To help with my confusion - I created these charts that list speed in MPH, an equivalent km/hr speed, a Minutes/Mile Pace, a Minutes/Km pace, and the time it would take to finish the following distances: 3 miles, 5K, 8K (5 Miles), 10K, 1/2 Marathon and Full Marathon. I've printed mine out double-sided, and have it next to my treadmill (in a sweat-proof sheet protector!).

Good Luck, happy training.

Awesome conversion chart! I've been looking for this for ages!
This is absolutely the best. Thank you for sharing!
Great conversion chart!
Thank you very much.
That's awesome! Did you generate it with Excel? If yes, is it possible to get the base file? Thanks again!

thank you very very much. you're a genius.
Hey what a go buddy!!! Great stuff. Thanks for helping us same time and grey cells too!
Have a great season!

What a great chart... now if you can figure out how to add the incline component you will be up for a Nobel Prize!
Thank you so much for this!
This is the most fabulous sheet ever!!! You rock! thanks so much for posting it to share! I've been looking for something like this - and you covered a fabulous range of times! thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
Thanks very much. This should be distributed far and wide. Very usefull and convenient.
Thanks for the table, really needed it. Anyone have a table that converts additionally for incline percent and what it does for effective speed. Example: If I run at 6:00 min pace at a 5% grade is that like running 5:40 pace?
FANTASTIC conversion chart !!

My thanks too, Phil - fantastic.
Thanks Phil for this amazing chart- have always had the pleasure of training in Km/H but now having to do MPH- was well confused earlier today and ended up with a rubbish timem because i burnt out my legs in the first 2 miles.
Fanbloodytastic! Will help me on the treadmill in Moscow. Currently -18 outside :)
Thank you so much for the fabulous worksheet. It's amazing!
Treadmills are very good exercise for chaps my age. I do it for 30 minutes each and every day.

Thanks so much
This is excellent. Thanks for sharing. A few years old by the look of it - but still valid :)
Thanks much, Phil! I really like your blog and cheat sheets. I hope that the coming season goes well for you.
Thanks Phil for this
Do you have to add an incline to simulate outside running - wind resistance?
@risingearler... re: Incline. That's a good question that many people have debated. I think the conventional wisdom is that you use 1% incline to simulate outdoor conditions. I've run many miles on a treadmill, and frankly, I can't tell the difference between 0% incline and 1% incline - so who knows. lol.
