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!!
