Questions about running pace calculator

What pace gives a 30-minute 5K?

Divide 30 minutes by 5 kilometers to get 6:00 per kilometer, equivalent to 10 km/h. Pace mode computes time per distance; time mode multiplies a target pace by distance. The model assumes a constant average pace.

What assumptions should I check?

Assumes constant average pace over the entire distance.
