Adults generally walk between 3 and 4 miles per hour. This means that a mile can be covered in about 15-20 minutes. There are some who will be more or less efficient than this, and walking speed may be affected by gender, age, as well as fitness level.

Do you know how to calculate walking speed?

When you're planning a journey or a day trip, or preparing for the marathon or a sponsored walk it is possible to know how long it takes to walk a mile. Your personal health status will affect the time it takes to walk a mile. However, you may include other variables such as your fitness level, gender, age and general health.

The speed of walking varies based on age

We don't mean the amazing thing that you can walk two blocks with a toddler within three hours (so many cracks in walls to see!)

You might be surprised to find out that young, lively twenty-somethings tend to walk at a slower pace as compared to their older thirtysomething and forty-something peers. It's factual. When we hit our 50s the speed of our walk slows and then increases.

At just 2.1mph the average speed for an average 75-year-old about half an hour to walk one mile (28 minutes and 34 seconds) for a 23-year old, whereas a 75-year-old is likely to walk at a speed of 3mph, and it will take them just 20 minutes to walk a mile.

Walking speed that is gender-specific

Women walk faster than men in all age ranges. It could be that men have longer legs. Perhaps they're more likely to run late for something...

Walking https://howtoneed.com/ at a pace

When calculating how many miles it takes to walk a mile there is another factor you need to think about: Are you taking a stroll, stroll or stroll down the street. You'll be walking at a different pace when you're enjoying countryside air, compared to when you're concerned about missing the train.

Here are some figures for various speeds of walking:

Fast Speed: 100-119 steps per minute or 11 minutes per mile

Normal - between 80 and 99 steps per hour/15 minutes for each mile

Relaxed: 60 to 79 steps per minute or 20 minutes per mile

Look over the miles chart below to get an idea of the time it will be to walk a certain number of miles at a leisurely regular, fast or normal pace.

The last line of our chart gives us the answer to the question "How long would the Proclaimers walk 500 miles?" The answer is the equivalent of 125 hours (7500 minutes) in a normal walking pace.
