Divide 60 by your speed in km/h to get min/km. For example, 10 km/h gives 60 ÷ 10 = 6:00 min/km. For mph, divide 60 by your mph value to get min/mile — 6.2 mph gives roughly 9:41 min/mi.
Yes — treadmill running is slightly easier because the belt helps propel your feet and there's no wind resistance or terrain variation. Setting the treadmill to 1% incline is a common way to approximate outdoor running effort for most speeds.
A 5:00/km pace equals 12.0 km/h (7.5 mph) on the treadmill. To find the speed for any pace, divide 60 by the pace in minutes — so 5.0 min/km → 60 ÷ 5 = 12 km/h.
