Walking

[Robert]

Just walked 8 miles @ 5.2mph - would that be clased as good?

I walked for 8 miles - took me about 1 hour 51 minutes.

That sounds like a good brisk pace to me!

5.2 is very quick, but 8 miles in 1hr 51min = 4.3mph Still a good pace though...

Nevermind...oh well.

 

[a1ex2001]

anything over 4mph is good speed for walking over an extended distance, despite what people say the average walking speed is more like 3mph than 4mph. Maintaining over 5mph for an extneded distance is very good going especially over anything other than the flatest of terrain.

I think the average walking speed is less than 3mph from what i've read.

Naismith's Rule suggest 3mph with corrections for climbing (30 minutes per 300m).
