If you want to run a 5K race and your pace is 8 minutes per mile, it will take you around 25 minutes and 8 seconds to complete the race.

A 5K race is equivalent to 3.1 miles. If you run each mile in 8 minutes, then your total running time for the race would be:

  • 3.1 miles x 8 minutes per mile = 24.8 minutes

Therefore, you will take about 25 minutes and 8 seconds to complete the race (since 0.8 minutes = 48 seconds).

A 5K race is 3.1 miles long. If you run at a pace of 8 minutes per mile, it will take you 25 minutes and 11 seconds to finish the race.

Here's how I calculated that:

  • 5K = 3.1 miles
  • 8 minutes per mile = 480 seconds per mile
  • 3.1 miles x 480 seconds per mile = 1488 seconds
  • 1488 seconds / 60 seconds per minute = 24.8 minutes
  • 24.8 minutes + 11 seconds = 25 minutes and 11 seconds

Please note that this is just an estimate. Your actual finishing time may vary depending on a number of factors, such as your fitness level, the weather conditions, and the course difficulty.
