Miles Kilometers Fast Walk Moderate Walk Easy Walk 26.2 42.2 4:48 6:40 8:44 With these charts, you should be able to get a rough estimate of how long it will take you to walk a given distance at a fitness walking pace without making stops. You'll have to add in more time if you have to wait at intersections for the crossing signal, make rest stops, stop to take photos, play Pokemon Go, etc.

Pacing and Finishing Time

Timing yourself over a mile can help you predict your finish time for an organized walking event up to 10 kilometers. Sometimes a race will want to know your pace in minutes per mile when you register. It's best to warm up and then walk a mile nonstop at your best pace to time it. Do this three times to find an average. Before you register for a longer race or event that has a cutoff time, you will want to predict your finish time. It's important that you only enter events that you know you can complete under the time limit. For a half-marathon prediction, add 20 seconds per mile to the pace you were able to do to finish a 10K. For a marathon prediction, multiply your 10 kilometers finish time by five.

Training for Different Distances

Training can do wonders. By gradually building your walking distance and paying attention to your posture and walking form, you will be able to walk faster and longer. It's always a good idea to build up your walking time steadily from shorter to longer distances. By adding a longer walk each week, you will build your muscles and stamina. You will also toughen the skin on your feet, which helps prevent blisters.

Start with the distance you are able to walk comfortably.

Add a mile to that distance each week, which will be between 15 and 20 more minutes of steady walking. Try a 30-day quick-start walking plan to begin building your walking mileage, whether you just want to walk a mile, enjoy a 5-kilometer charity walk, or even begin training for a half-marathon or marathon.
