Calculate walking pace, speed and the time a distance will take.
Brisk walking above about 5.5 kilometres per hour is what public health guidance counts as moderate intensity activity. Below roughly 4 kilometres per hour the physiological benefit falls off sharply. Pace rather than distance determines whether walking counts as exercise, which is why step counts alone are a poor measure of activity.
Walking Pace
Pace = duration ÷ distance; speed = distance ÷ duration
These figures are estimates based on population-average formulas and are intended for training and recreational planning only. They are not medical advice. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or changing an exercise programme, particularly if you have an existing medical condition.
