5’0 and under … what’s your treadmill speed for walking?

[marepagef]

@uticus Around 3-3.2! I’m only a little over 5’

 

[sharpton]

@uticus I’m 4’10” and I like to walk at 3.2-3.5mph on the treadmill. Anything above that and I’m gearing up to start jogging. But 3.2 feels like walking and 3.5 feels like exercise.

Keep in mind I’m a city girl so Idk if you’ve ever been to NYC but the fast walker stereotype is absolutely accurate for natives. I tend to walk too fast

 

[pollyjetix]

@uticus I do 3.0 mph at an incline of 5%, with breaks. A trainer once advised me to walk at an incline after lifting. But if I’ve taken a break, like after an injury, I start at 2.4 with no incline. Stamina is something you have to build over time, you got this OP!

@uticus 5’0 and 3 is a good normal walking speed for me!

 

[elarpa]

@uticus 4’10” - 2.8 leisurely walk, 3.0-3.2 brisk walk, 3.3-3.5 power walk, 4.0 jog, 5-6 run

 

[tvmatt77]

@uticus Speed walk 3.5-4.0. Jog at 5.5. The space between 4.0-5,5 I can’t walk or jog. Fastest speed I can run 7.0.

 

[artfull]

@uticus I'll do 6km/h at a 6% incline for 60 mins for heavy cardio

 

[bridget_smith]

@uticus i walk fast so i do start at 3 mph lol, but if i feel like building up i start at 2.5 mph. 5'2"

 

[kuriositina]

@uticus 3.2-3.4 is my normal pace when listening to music and walking. On a walk with a friend, about 2.9

 

[holdingon2god]

@uticus 1.5 is my walking while working pace. It’s fast enough to get some decent mileage in a couple hours without jostling my laptop.

 

[diakoneo10]

@uticus 4'11 here, I go between 2.5-2.8 but with 11-12% incline. The incline will make you sweattttt

 

[nomz84]

@uticus Wait are taller people not speed walking/jogging at 3 mph?

 

[athena31]

@uticus 5’0. 3.3 walking. 4.7 slow jog. I do sprints at up to 9.1 so far. Feels like I’m flying sometimes lol

 

[tokyocat]

@uticus I’m 5’2 and normally do 3.1 on a 8.0-10.0% incline, but I’m def power walking lol

 

[shiney77]

@uticus This made me lol. I see these influencers saying oh i only do 30 mins at 10 incline and 3.0…. I am legitimately horizontal at that incline… is this a petite thing? I like doing 3.5-4 on flat ground, if i lower below 3.5 i do 3-4% incline.

 

[uticus]

@shiney77 Hahaha, I’ve had the same thought before. I tried it the max incline and felt like I was climbing a mountain.

 

[lardass]

@uticus 4’10 and I walk on 3.2-3.5and run like 5.8-7. Anything under 3.2 feels like I’m not doing anything. And I always walk on an incline 6-8

I may also add I don’t jog ever because it’s hard af and BORING. I’d rather sprint a mile at 6.8 or 7 on an incline and be done sooner

 

[osebastian]

@uticus 5’2. 2.5 is my “casual stroll”, usually where I start/finish off. 3.0 is my “walking with a purpose”, and where I usually spend the most time. 3.5 is my “oh my god Im late but I would look silly if I was running there so I’m walking as fast as I can”, when I need to get my heart rate up for a bit. Any faster and Im jogging.

 

[thelordismysheperd]

@uticus I’m 5”0, I try to keep to a speed of 4.2 (im speed walking and sweating for sure, this pace is challenging for me) and an incline of at 8-9% for my workouts. When I first started working out I did a speed of 3.8 though. If i want to actually jog, I increase the speed to 5.2-5.4 and slowly decrease the incline as i get too tired. I do have “long legs” and a short torso for someone who’s 5”0. I’d say my actual walking speed would be about 3.4mph haha

 

[truth7t7]

@uticus Just under 5’1 and I’d say 3.3- 3.8 mph at one percent incline
