About the Walking Speed Calculator
Walking speed is your average pace in kilometres per hour. Enter the distance and the time to see your speed — useful for planning walks and tracking fitness. A brisk walk is usually around 5 to 6 km/h.
For instance, 5 km in 1 hour is an average speed of 5 km/h.
Speed
Speed (km/h) = distance (km) ÷ time (hours)
Things to keep in mind
- Convert minutes to hours before entering the time: 45 minutes is 0.75 hours.
- Slopes, stops and traffic lower the average speed.
- Gradually increase either distance or speed, not both at once.
