How to convert pace
A mile is 1.609344 km. To convert per-km pace to per-mile pace, multiply by 1.609344. To go from per-mile to per-km, divide by 1.609344. So 5:00/km × 1.609344 = 8:02.8, which rounds to 8:03 per mile.
A quick mental shortcut: per-mile pace is roughly per-km pace plus 60%. 5:00/km plus 3:00 is 8:00/mile. That's close enough on the run.
