How it works

Arithmetic, not physiology. Distance is locked at 1500 m (0.93206 mi), the metric mile. Pace = time / distance. A standard outdoor 1500 is a 300 m opener plus three 400 m laps. This is even 1500 m race pace, not race-equivalence. For a mile→1500 m or 5K→1500 m estimate, use the race time predictor (Riegel). This page does not clone VDOT or McMillan tables.

  • pace = time / 1500 m
  • 1500 m = 1.500 km = 0.932056788 mi
  • 300 m opener + 3 × 400 m = 1500 m
  • 1 mile = 1.609344 km

FAQ

What pace for a 6:00 1500 m?

A 6:00 1500 m is 6:26 per mile, or 4:00 per kilometer, at even pace. The 400 m lap is 1:36 and the 300 m opener is 1:12. Distance is locked at 1500 m (~0.93 mi). There is no Calculate button; pace updates live.

How is a 1500 m race structured on the track?

A standard outdoor 1500 is a 300 m opener plus three full 400 m laps (300 + 3 × 400 = 1500). This page shows the opener clock, each lap clock at 700 / 1100 / 1500 m, and even-pace 400 / 800 / 1200 m marks.

Is 1500 m the same as a mile?

No. A 1500 m is the metric mile: 1.500 km, or about 0.93 international miles (exactly 0.932056788 mi). A statute mile is 1609.344 m. The /mi number on this page is even-pace arithmetic for the 1500 m finish, not a separate mile race prediction.

Does this predict a 1500 m from a mile or 5K?

No. This page is even-pace arithmetic for 1500 m. It does not estimate a 1500 from another race, and it is not VDOT or McMillan. For a fatigue-based estimate from a recent race, use the race time predictor (Riegel).
