    If you go to the MFP database… it calls 3.5 mph a brisk walk. 4.0 mph a very brisk walk, and 4.5 mph a very, very brisk walk. It doesn't actually call it a jog until it's 5.0 mph. But, personally… At about 4.2 -ish mph, is when I feel more comfortable breaking out into a jog rather than trying to stay at a walk. I'm tall… but my legs are proportionally short. ("Tall" pants totally drag on the floor and would trip me!)

    I can tell from some of the other shorties weighing in that my arthritis effects my efforts. Oh well!

    My step mom can walk a mile in 13-14 minutes - I don't know how she does it! That's a faster pace than a lot people running!

    That's about average speed for me. Really pushing I can do 11min miles.
    I can be on a train (at a station a mile from my house) in less than 15mins.

    Very brisk to me would be walking when you think you might be late for the bus stop. Your heart would be pumping. It would feel like exercise.
    Brisk might be walking the dog but you don't have too long..
    Moderate would be normal pace
    Leisure would be walking in the sunshine taking in your surroundings not bothered how long it takes.
    Lol sorry I'm not very scientific..
