Run Pace 50-Minute 10K Pace
Required pace: 5:00 /km · 8:03 /mileFinish time 50:00
Fifty minutes is one of the easiest 10K paces to remember: 5:00 per kilometre, every kilometre. That makes it a popular target for runners who have already broken an hour and want the next clear milestone.
Go through 5K at 25:00. If you are a few seconds ahead there and still relaxed, you have room to push over the final two kilometres.
