Whats the simplest way to determine how fast Im walking?
The easiest way to gauge your speed without wearing a pedometer–or getting in your car and measuring mileage, which can be pretty difficult unless you walk along a street–is to count your number of steps per minute. The experts use this number to calculate pace, based on an average stride length of 2½ feet. (Stride length is the distance from the heel of one foot to the heel of the other foot when you’re taking a step.) They’ve already done the math for you.
