How fast do you walk on the treadmill?

Bonny619

I walk between 3.2-3.5 (I'm only 5 feet tall so that's a pretty brisk pace) I jog at 4.0-4.5 and a full out run is 5.0-5.5

depends on what i am doing while walking. If i am reading a book, it's usually at like 3.5 at a 5% incline so that i can focus on the pages. If i'm watching tv or jamming out to music, as close to 4.0 or over as i can get without actually jogging.

Mostly though, i set the treadmill to random, picking an average speed and incline. it really helps burn the calories and helps as a high intensity interval training thing.

To keep myself in a fat burning zone I cant got over 2.0 and a 2.5 % incline. I do this for 60-120 mins, and it doesn't kill me..

i usally walk on 6.0 for 1 min and run 13.0 for 1 min for 10 mins.

That's got to be km/h not miles, right?

I jog about 10km/h to 11km/h, and cool down by walking from 7.5km/h down to about 6km/h depending on my mood.

ang3h

2.5mph on a 15% incline for 30 mins. I guess I'm a slowpoke but I still feel like I got a hell of a workout afterward.. like slowly climbing a neverending mountain..lol.

In mini-breaks between running at a 6.5-6.7, I'll usually walk at a 3.8-4.0 on a 2.0 incline.

I don't think I'd be able to go more than 3.2 at a 20% incline either! My treadmill only goes to a 10% incline.

I usually do between 3.5 and 7 with varying inclines. Depends if it's a running or walking day. My run days I go back and forth between 6, 6.5, and 7 with no inclines. Walking days are between 3.5 and 5 w/ inclines. I change the speed and incline every 2-5 minutes for 1- so I don't get bored and 2- I read somewhere that it helps with your weightloss so your body doesn't get used to the one speed. Don't know how true that is, but I follow that anyway. haha

how does one walk at 6mph? I spy on everyones treadmill and have yet to see it. Stilts?!

ajones1227

Anywhere from a 6-10 incline 3.5 speed

I think that you guys either have really really long legs, or you aren't walking you're running!

I guess I'm the slow poke here - my treadmill is set at 2.7 (2.3mph) with a 5% incline for about 30 minutes. That pace keeps me in the fat burning heart rate zone and I feel like it gives me a good workout.

kdz526

I really think height is a factor or rather length of legs. I walk at 3 mph at a 8% incline and am about to boost it up to 3.1 or 3.2. at 3.5 im doing a slow jog or an extremely brisk walk with a hop every once in a while cause im a shortie with short legs.
edit: and i go for 30 mins with a 5 min cool down at 2.5 with no incline.

kacinace

warm up and cool down is usually 3.5mph. If I'm not feeling like running, then I'll walk at 4mph and vary the incline.

Btmartin54

I'm up to 4.4MPH...at first it was more of a run-walk to do 4MPH. I do believe being taller has also helped me to increase my speed. I'm 5'11".

sm1zzle

I think 3.0 or 3.5 is about average for walking. I could be wrong. When I am running and want a quick breath I drop down to 3.0

meshashesha2012

easy walk is 4.0 fast walk is 5.0.. slow jog is 5.3 anything between 5.0 and 5.3 is a weird speed for me when it's uncomfortable to either walk or run

i'm 5'5 and have long legs

angieleighbyrd

When I do C25K I warm up at 3, walk at 4 and run at 6.

quirkytizzy

Omg, I feel like a total wuss now! I've set it at 4% this week at 3.7 to walk, with one minute jogging intervals at 4,.2 mph every other minute. Today I put the incline to 4.5 to jog and 5 to walk and nearly died! You guys are inspiring me to do better!

MoreBean13

3.7 in between sprint intervals is an easy pace for me at 5'3". Around 4.2 is where I hit that awkward no-man's-land speed. You won't find me ever between 4.2 and 6.0 on a treadmill.

Shrelana

I do my treadmill in intervals (usually 1 to 1:30 minute intervals), start walking at 3.5 on a 3 incline (not sure the %), then bump it to 3.8 with a 11 incline, then run at about 6.5 on the 3 again. Rinse and repeat.

dg09

3mph

And I only do 1 minute sprints every 10 minutes. You don't have to kill yourself to get the job done!

YoungDoc2B

Incline at about 8 or 9, and walk anywhere from 4-4.4mph

george29223

4.5 mph but almost always 4.0 cuz i like to fill a backpack with bacon its slows me down but oh so worth it

LJA1968

Apparently I'm pokey. I walk at 2.6mph up to 3.0. I go for 30 minutes. Oh well, we each have what works for us.

Victoriav99

I tend to go about 3.5 to 3.8 mph.

veggieluver2

Warm up at 4.0 / 0 incline for 5 minutes.
Active cardio 4.5 / 4.5 incline for 25 minutes. Sometimes I do my on version of HIIT by bumping it up to 4.7 for a minute, then back down to 4.5 for a minute alternating.

Karabobarra

I do a walk/run walk at 4.0 - 4.2 run at 5.7-6.2, I usually a 5 minute warm up walk at 4.0 then start running for 2 minutes, walking for 2 minutes... for 26 minutes

I'm still trying to run longer and haven't even thought about inclines...hmmm

EmilyJackCO

I'm at 4mph for 60 minutes plus cooldown.

issyfit

2 mph no incline because I have an artificial hip, another bad hip and two bad knees, but it's better than sitting.

PonyTailedLoser

I usually saunter along at 3.0 mph.
