    20 min mile with a personal best of a 17 min mile.

    I would say 3.0-3.5 mph is the general walking speed for average people.

    Between 3 and 3.5mph walking for exercise. I have short legs and a rather short stride (hip issues)

    2.5 - 3.0 mph. I know, I'm slow as *kitten*.

    However, most of the time when I'm walking, I've got my nose in a book, so that accounts for some of the slow pace.

    However, I'm baffled by people who can walk at 4 or 5 mph.. that's jogging for me, lol.

    4 to 4.5 mph. I can't walk at any other speed. Then again, I'm from NYC so it's most likely ingrained in me at this point.

    Ditto on that! I lived in NYC for 14 years and anything less than a 4.0 feels like a crawl. I also stand in the street while waiting to cross, jaywalk, and walk in the street when the sidewalks are too crowded :) I miss a lot of things about NYC, but I don't miss the crowded streets.

    Probably average 3.2 even though I walk a lot. I wish my pace was more of a 4.0, but I just don't have the stride for that, and I have officially moved on into the acceptance phase...

    I hear you. My legs are so short that walking at those speeds just won't happen as I have to take so many more steps than the average person to reach the same distance. Fortunately it means I am working out harder than the average person walking my speeds so it isn't all bed.

    Depends on the walk - 10k or less on flat(ish) terrain then will aim for 10 min per KM. Hill walking I don't measure due to walking with a group who all walk at different rates and need different breaks.

    If I'm making a point of hurrying along, about 3.5 mph. Otherwise about 3.0. But if I'm strolling it's more like 2.5. I got a sense of my pace by walking on a treadmill and noting how it felt.

    17.5 - 18 min mile on flat. About 3.7 mph on treadmill. Hills? All bets are off :o
