Is there a good site that calculates your walking speed?

I used to use caloriesperhour but it's gone now. :(
I have a Fitbit charge hr but it doesn't tell me mph for some reason-just pace.
I've searched and searched and can't find a simple calculator for mph... I don't get it. :p
Thanks! :)

    Do you have to have it running when u walk?
    I already have the Fitbit app running and don't want to have to run another to eat up my phone battery. :/
    Thanks! :)

    Yes but I have found if I let my display go black it still tracks and uses very little battery. I run c210k run keeper and spotify simultaneously and use very little juice.

    If you are just doing minutes/mile to MPH you can use google:
    just search for "8 minutes/mile to mph" (replace with your number of course)

    Not sure if that is what you are looking for but pretty easy.

    I used this, along with the miles my fitbit said, and a stopwatch

    If you know your distance and how long you've been going then you can figure it out with a calculator. Say you went 2 miles in 48 minutes. Divide 48 by 60 (number of minutes in an hour). That's 0.8. Then divide the 2 miles by 0.8. That's 2.5. You just went 2.5 mph.

    Even easier math (must know your one mile --or km-- pace). Take 60 divided by the pace.

    Example, I walked at a 17min/mi pace today. 60/17 = 3.53. I walked at a speed of 3.53mph.

    All these numbers are making my head hurt :flushed:

    I downloaded MapMyRun, and it said I walked 1.3 MPH or something ridiculous like that! I was most distressed, as I put my all in when I walk. So, that app did not work for me. When I figured it out using the above site it was closer to 5 MPH, which sounds about right.

    minutes walked / pace (min/mile) = distance walked
    60 / pace = mph

    @christine_72 it is very basic math, if you have pace and time walked you don't need a website.

    Use runkeeper. Download, install it and voila. It needs GPS only

    Are you sure of your numbers?
    5mph is close to jog/run it's a ridiculously fast walking pace.
    3.5/4mph would be considered very brisk.

    Yes, I do a mixture of speed walking/ slow jogging, if i went any faster i'd be running. I cant however guarantee that I keep up that pace for a solid hour.. I probably do hover between 3.5 and 5. The actual number I got was 4.7 mph. I tested it over and over again, and came up with around the same number every time.
    The whole thing gave me a such a headache trying to figure it out perfectly, that at this point I don't give a flip how fast i walk per hour any more lol I just speed ahead as fast as my legs will take me. I'm 5"8 with a long stride length if that makes a difference?

    I find this to be true on Map my Walk as well. It gives you your speed at every mile.
