6 mph = 10:00 per mile
That is 9.66 km/h, or about 6:13 per kilometre. Speed and pace describe the same setting in different ways.

A few useful examples.
12 km/h = 5:00 per km
Divide 60 by the speed in km/h to get minutes per kilometre. Keep the decimal remainder as a fraction of a minute, then multiply it by 60 for seconds.

BEHIND THE NUMBERSMethod & common questions
How do you convert treadmill speed to pace?
Seconds per kilometre = 3,600 ÷ speed in km/h. Seconds per mile = 3,600 ÷ speed in mph. One international mile is exactly 1.609344 kilometres. Conversion keeps precision internally and rounds displayed time once.
Does incline change the pace in this chart?
No. These are distance and time conversions for the displayed belt speed. They are not incline-adjusted effort equivalents or predictions of outdoor performance.
Why is my exact setting not highlighted?
The chart uses half-unit steps. The converter accepts intermediate settings and shows the exact conversion for your input. A chart row is highlighted only when it matches your setting.
Which inputs are supported?
The converter accepts speeds equivalent to 1–40 km/h, or corresponding paces entered as m:ss. These are product limits, not a recommendation or a statement about your treadmill.
