There is no f'n way...no way, that someone can walk a 10min mile. That's a well paced jog for the average gait. IMO when you get over 7mph... that's running.


People who claim they can probably haven't been on a treadmill lately. You start walking, when you get to 3.5 mph you are struggling to keep up, at 4.0 mph you are on the edge of walk and jog. At 6 mph you are in a full blown jog

A speedwalker might be able to do it, but the OP probably isn't referring to speedwalkers

This entire thread would make a good comedy skit.

Reminds me of my wife.

"I can do that" Then...
"I didn't say that" then...
"That's not what I meant" then...
"You can't prove it" then...
"a-hole."

No, you probably can't.


I don't run anymore, because of a knee issue. I'm a pretty fast walker, casually.

The US Army standard, for senior citizens like me, is to walk 2.5 miles in 36 1/2 minutes.

Try it.

That...is...NO...JOKE, brothers and sisters. That is hoofing it - stepping it out, "getting it" as the kids say, from a walking standpoint.

Give or take about 4.2 miles per hour.

Walking a 10 minute mile would be "walking" 6 miles per hour, which, unless you're 7 feet tall, would be running.

It's a specialized sport and crazy to see in action( a few 10ks I've done had the walk category. these people are serious).


Damn, those guys hoof it. 6 minute 7 second speed walk mile won a race. Just under 10 mph.

I agree. I suck at walking and can be a decent runner when training.

People who are good at walking are built for that shite.

I won't write her off walking a 12min mile. I know my exes walked faster than comfortable for me but would fall behind in a jog. So, men, let's not be so sure she can't pull off the 11:15 for 2 miles and 12 min for 4 miles. I've seen some women walking steady 30 minutes at 4.5 on the treadmill in the gym.
But not this guy. That shite hurts more than running at 6.1.
