The distance behind this chart
Five kilometres is exactly 5,000 m. It also equals 12 complete 400 m laps plus 200 m when that is the lap length you enter. A kilometre table therefore has five regular finish checkpoints, while a mile table ends with a shorter final section.
Pace and finish-time reference
This grid uses explicit 30-second-per-kilometre steps. The mile pace alongside each row is a display conversion of that same pace, not a separately rounded input. Choose a row as a reference or enter your own target in the calculator.
A specific plan to check
For 5 km in 0:25:00, the average displayed pace is 5:00/km or 8:03/mi. The target duration is preserved when you open its split table.

Keep the finish marker
A regular interval does not always divide the full distance. The tool adds a terminal row for the remaining distance and removes duplicate markers. Cumulative rows use the original target, so the finish does not drift when displayed paces are rounded.
