chalkedup 14 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 i think a average person will walk at around 4mph im guessing thats on the flat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wxm 1,638 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 everytime i go out walking the dogs my lads in toe so takes about 1 hour to do a mile lol and i know i should probs map out a mile from mine and time it but i aint got time this side of monday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,025 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I doubt very much you could walk 2 miles in 18 minutes.....before the days of electric treadmills i used to walk dogs miles.I always wanted to be accurate about how far and how long etc hence i timed and measured distance At a good pace we would walk 1 mile in 14 minutes,which is of course a touch over 4 mph....i cant see you walking 2 miles in much less than 25/26 minutes unless you break out into the occasional jog.

gnasher16 30,025 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) how old are you? maybe 20mins then, but if he is going to work, he is going to have a little spring in his step, would you not think.. At the time i was in my 20,s,an extremely fit guy with an extremely fit bulldog pulling me along,i couldnt have walked any faster without running....measure out an exact mile and try it,... World class race walkers can do it in around 8 minutes,but of course they are virtually running and only technique means they can " walk " at that pace......for the normal everyday joe you can safely double that time.
