Pace chart Printable mph ↔ min/mile table for the treadmill rail. About How the math works and what this site is for.

Core conversion is exact. Incline adjustment is an estimate for training reference only.

Pace (min/mile) = 60 ÷ speed (mph). Reverse: speed = 60 ÷ pace. Metric uses the same relationship with km/h and min/km.

Short answers under the tool — for search and for the gym.

How do you convert mph to min/mile?

Pace (min/mile) = 60 ÷ speed (mph). Example: 60 ÷ 6.0 = 10 minutes per mile.

How do I set the treadmill for a target pace?

Switch to Pace → Speed, enter your plan pace (e.g. 9:30), and set the machine to the speed shown.

Should I use 1% incline?

Many runners use about 1% to better match outdoor effort. Treat incline-adjusted pace as an estimate.

Is incline-adjusted pace exact?

No. It is labeled Estimate and is for training reference only — not medical or race advice.
