Walking Pace Calculator

Average walking speed is about 3-3.5 mph (4.8-5.6 km/h), which is roughly a 17-20 minute mile or 10.7-12.5 min/km. Brisk walking is 3.5-4.5 mph. Race walking can exceed 5-6 mph.

The average person takes about 2,000-2,500 steps per mile, depending on stride length. At 3 mph walking pace, that's roughly 100 steps per minute or about 5,000 steps in a 30-minute walk.

At average walking speed, 10,000 steps takes about 80-100 minutes (roughly 4-5 miles). You don't need to do it all at once — accumulated steps throughout the day count the same.
