A typical walking pace is about 3 miles per hour, so walking 1 mile usually takes around 20 minutes. However, the exact time depends on your pace, terrain, and conditions. Key points to estimate your 1-mile walk
- Slow or leisurely pace: roughly 2 to 2.5 mph, about 24 to 30 minutes per mile.
- Moderate pace: around 3 mph, about 20 minutes per mile.
- Brisk or athletic pace: 4 mph or faster, about 15 minutes or less per mile.
If you’d like a personalized estimate, share your usual walking speed (in mph or minutes per mile) and whether you’re walking on flat pavement, hills, or mixed terrain. I can then compute your exact 1-mile time.
