What is considered a good fitness walking pace?
An average fitness walking pace is close to a 15-minute mile. But, a good pace will vary depending on your fitness level, walking technique, walking goals, and terrain. For general fitness walking you should walk at a pace that increases your heart rate, and you can maintain for 30 to 60 minutes. Use the talk test… if you can’t speak without gasping for air you are walking too fast. If you are walking slow enough that you can carry a tune you are probably walking too slow.
