Another Brisk Walk!

Had another great walk today on the Lancaster Junction Trail!  Fives miles at a brisk pace!  Thought I would do some research on what is considered a brisk pace!

What is a Brisk Walking Pace?

Couple of points from the article:

1 - SPEED _ Brisk walk is about 3 mph.  That is about 10 minutes for 1/2 mile.  The trail is marked every 1/2 mile & today I averaged about 8:40 per mile.  So, I was brisk!

2 - BREATH - Need to catch breath?  Nope!  Was breathing fine!

3 - HEART RATE - Did not wear my heart rate monitor, but I usually will be in the 95-105 range.

Check out the graph below:

What is your age & what is your Target Heart Rate?

I'm 60 and I am hitting between 95 - 105 on average.  My goal will be to get closer to my upper range of 120-128!!
