Running Split Calculator

Are you preparing yourself for a marathon? This running split calculator will help you organize and plan your training and competing sessions so you will be better prepared when the time comes. Use this split time calculator to estimate your training plan over a shorter distance, like 4km (in miles: 2.49) or 2km (in miles: 1.24). Training pace calculator can also be helpful.

We try our best to make our Omni Calculators as precise and reliable as possible. However, this tool can never replace a professional doctor's assessment. If any health condition bothers you, consult a physician.

Split means the time a runner needs to complete a specific distance. For example, say you've set your base time as 10 minutes for 1 mile and want to run 4km.

How much is 4km in miles?

4km is 2.4855 miles. Therefore, using our base time set above, it'll be two full splits that are both 1-mile long and take 10 mins each. The resting distance is 2563 feet (781 meters), ran in 4 min 51 sec. With this mile split calculator, you don't need to know how to work this out - it'll do all of it for you automatically.

Of course, splits are also a term used in other sports, such as rowing (take a moment and check our the ERG calculator). 🚣‍♀️ Running splits are essential for people training to perform in competitions, marathons (where you could also make use of the marathon pace calculator), etc., as they let them know if they are keeping up the right pace.

There's also something called negative splits:

1. 🏃Instead of starting with your goal pace, begin around 10-25 seconds per mile slower (6 - 15 seconds per km). Thanks to such a proportion, you should have more power at the end of the race.

2. 🏃🏃 When you reach the second third of the race, speed up to the goal pace.

3. 🏃🏃🏃Once you reach the final third of the race, speed up to between 10-25 seconds per mile faster than the goal (6 - 15 seconds per km). This will help you pass the runners who kept to the same pace for the whole race.

Do you often have problems with tools which seem easy to use, but then you trip when you have to convert between different units? In this running split calculator you can easily switch between any units: time, distance, and pace. You can also do the same in the Results section!

Ok, but let's answer the main question:

• 2km in miles is 1.2427 mile; and
• 4km in miles is 2.4855 miles

You can easily apply split running to your training sessions. That will improve your overall pace and let you build more strength and aerobic capacity, easy to check with the VO2 max runners calculator.

🏅The training would differ depending on which distance you compete over:

1. 800m:

• 3 x 600m, divided into smaller sets: 3 sets 2 x 300m with a 1-minute rest after each repetition and a 10 minute rest between the three sets.

2. 400m:

• 3 sets 2 x 200m (again, 1-minute rest after each repetition and then 10 minutes between the three sets).

3. 1500m:

• 4 sets (600m, 1-minute rest, 400m) (8 mins between sets).

4. Marathon, if you're training on a 5k pace:

• 5 sets 3 x 1000m (30-seconds rest after the repetitions, 5-minute rests between the sets).

These sets and paces are only an example to help you visualize what split running training means. Always consult your training plan with your coach and dietician to keep your diet balanced and fuel your body correctly. 🌿

To use this mile split calculator, all you need to do is input the following values:

1. Running distance for which you want to know how to calculate split times.
2. Your pace or the total time it takes to run the above distance.
3. The split distance, which is the distance between each split.

What can you see in the results? Click or tap on the Results section heading to find out.

The first two fields are the number of full-length splits and the time you need to complete each split. The other two are the last part of the run, which is left after you finish all of the full-length splits. Here, you'll also find the distance and time to run.

In the Additional running details section, you can enter a split number, and the calculator will tell you the time remaining until the end of your run.

Let's put that theory into practice! Maria will run a half marathon next week. She tries to plan her pace for the whole race and knows at what time to do splits. 🏃🏻 Her pace is 8 min 10 s per mile. Half marathon means 13.1094 miles or 21.098 km. Even though she often uses miles, now Maria needs to know her timing if she splits every kilometer, and that's when she uses this running split calculator.

How do you calculate split times? The results are:

• Number of full splits: 21;
• The time for each 1km completed: 5 min 4.47 sec;
• The resting distance: 97.53 m; and
• The time for the resting distance: 29.696 sec.

This half-marathon pace calculator also estimates Maria's total time to complete a half-marathon: 1 hour 47 minutes!
