5K Pace Chart, Letter
5K race pace pushes toward the fast end of the competitive range — often 4:30–7:00/mi for trained adults. Fifteen-second row steps matter when 30 seconds per mile separates a PR from a blow-up.
Highlight your target 5K pace below before printing for interval sessions on the treadmill. MPH column helps set belt speed for 800 m repeats when the workout plan lists mile pace.
Short races still deserve mile-by-mile planning on race morning — pace bands cover 5K through marathon distances.
