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.
