At a leisurely pace, how long does it take to walk a mile?

McGruff

This is from a fitness site. A leisurely walker takes about 115-120 steps per minute and will cover a mile in approximately 17-18 minutes. A brisk pace demands 135 steps per minute, for a 15 minute mile. Feb 10 02, 7:27 AM

Depends on the individual and the level of fitness. I walk 1.5 miles to work everyday and reckon to do it in 20 minutes. Familiarity with the route helps. Feb 10 02, 1:21 PM

I go with McGruff on this one. I find what I would term a leisurely walk always seems to finish up around 3 mph and a brisk walk is 4 to 4.5 mph. Feb 10 02, 4:23 PM
