I disagree w/all of you.
It should be 10-12 max
Most ppl can run a mile in 9mins.
I run a mile in 6 mins. It used to be 4 mins
Svetlana, is that you? :bigsmile:
" Svetlana Masterkova has the women's record of 4:12.56"
Are you measuring in metric minutes or maybe you are thinking kilometers?
I was a Champion runner in High School and College. :bigsmile: 4.55
Way cool! Congratulations! Of course with a name like ChasinPavement I assumed you were more skilled than the average runners here. You would lap me about 3 times on a mile track.0 -

I can't tell if you're joking or if you missed the part where she was asking about walking?
Not everyone is on the same level. I've been running for a year, and it still takes me 9-10 mins to run a mile and 15 mins to walk one. OP is probably a beginner.
Trust me I didn't "miss" anything..so watch your tone, mmmkkkk.
It should still only take 12 mins max walking briskly.
Dude, are you an olympic speedwalker? I think I spotted you in this video!! http://youtu.be/KGfLhNowXtU

Like everyone said, it all depends. I'm a New York walker, so a mile only takes me about 12 minutes.0

Nice for you, but I'd LOVE to see you or ANYONE for that matter, WALK a 10:00 mile. I'd bet my next 12 paychecks that you can't do it.0 -
My walk is about 3mph - so 20 minutes0

Far from it.
OP, Please let us know what your results are. Keep up with your motivation and Dream Big.
No matter how long it takes you, it beats sitting on the couch. :drinker:0 -

Well, I'm overweight, have knee problems and have some muscle atrophy in both of my quads (due to my knee problems). My walking speed is about 20 minutes for a mile (on a good day I can get it down to 18 but that's nearly a jog). My average running is 15 minute miles... I'm elated if I can run a 12 minute mile! 'Course, 2 years ago I could barely walk half a mile and couldn't even run to the end of my street, but I guess I should just give up because I'm nowhere near even average (most "ppl") :sad:0 -
Emily, I so agree with you. I struggle to walk fast....between jogging and walking, I"m about a 20 minute mile. My daughter, at 25, walks with me as I jog (I'm 58 years old and struggling to lose weight - at about 180 now). She's proud of me...I couldn't even jog a little bit before my C25K training. It's not as easy for some of us as it is for others. We just keep moving forward It's all good. I love these boards. It asks the questions that I didn't know I needed to ask0

The Men's record holder for Race Walking has a pace just north of 6 MPH. Though, I hardly consider race walking to be "walking."

As a fellow track and cross country champ, I should make it clear that *most* people cannot run a mile in 9 minutes. Most people cannot RUN a mile in 10-12 minutes either, let alone walk it. And VERY, VERY few of us can run (or walk, for that matter... :laugh:) a mile in less than 4 and a half minutes.
Someone should be able to WALK a mile in 15-20 minutes, as stated previously in this thread, 15 minutes if you are walking at a quick pace, 20 minutes if you are not in the best of shape or walking at a more leisurely pace.0 -

Lets be clear it was never suggested anyone could walk a mile in 4.5 mins. So maybe take some time to read b4 you try to make a dig @ someone. So your "burn" has been officially denied.
Also, if the Plus sized girl on Biggest Loser ran the mile in 9mins this year. What does that tell you? :huh:0 -
Depending on where you look the speed for a brisk walk is different it can also depend on personal factors. Such as what is brisk for one person may not be brisk for someone else. However it is somewhere around 3 mph depending on what level of brisk you are talking about. When I looked it up it was supposed to be done in about 20 minutes.0

It varies. You can easily figure out how fast you walk if you time yourself at the start and finish. I don't have a pedometer, but I can tell how fast I walked by looking at the clock (my cell phone) when I begin and end the walk.0 -
2 MPH is a slow walk
3 MPH is a moderate pace (walking dog according to MFP but my dog usually demands stops along the way)
4 MPH is considered a brisk pace and is usually about where I set the treadmill for a brisk walk @ my gym
I have seen people with shorter legs actually start jogging at about 3.5 but my jogging pace usually starts about 5.0 and I am pretty comfortable @ a jogging pace of about 6.5...0
