What is the Average Walking Speed? How SpeedX Helps Measure Your Pace
Understanding Average Walking Speed
The average walking speed varies by age, fitness level, and purpose:
- Casual walkers: 3-4 km/h (1.9-2.5 mph)
- Brisk walkers: 5-6 km/h (3.1-3.7 mph)
- Power walkers: 6-7 km/h (3.7-4.3 mph)
- Elderly walkers: 2-3 km/h (1.2-1.9 mph)
SpeedX helps you track your walking speed in real-time with GPS accuracy.
Walking Speed vs. Running Pace
While walkers measure speed in km/h or mph, runners often use pace (minutes per kilometer/mile):
| Activity | Speed (km/h) | Pace (min/km) |
|---|---|---|
| Leisurely Walk | 3-4 | 15:00-20:00 |
| Brisk Walk | 5-6 | 10:00-12:00 |
| Jogging | 8-10 | 6:00-7:30 |
SpeedX automatically converts between these units with a simple tap.
