This is an association, but, clearly, if you can get the additional speed, it shouldn’t hurt and could get you the benefit described above.

As an older person right on that A1C edge, I appreciate all your posts. And this one in particular. I’d like to say more, but I’d better quit typing and go out for a walk!
Thanks

Don’t fool yourself. Exercise and diet are the key to a good life.

That’s only about 2.5 MPH, which is an average pace for a healthy adult.

4 km/hour is a leisurely stroll.

For me as it’s all about concentration. I typically average 3.5 mph on my walks, but if I can keep concentrating on my pace I can average up to 3.85 mph. On an empty track, where there are less distractions and it’s level and consistent I can average about 4.2 mph.

I walk pretty fast. It’s only from the recliner to the bathroom, but it’s every hour. Does that count?

Well, 2 miles a day, 4 days a week at 3mph, including incline walking on my treadmill, and I guess I’m good! Along with not eating processed crap.
To: ConservativeMind
Just did my 1-hour lunchtime walk, 3.5 miles.

My average is 2.1 mph but I go up to as fast as 5.1 mph sometimes. My yearly average length of walk is 3.5 miles/day. I plan to keep it up as long as possible. The doctor is very happy with me.

I try to do 5-6 miles. I do a walk at lunch and then in the evening around 6-7 PM.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear and The Grand Tour wrote an article about this.
Clarkson’s Columns: “10,000 steps a day? I’m not a postman
https://www.reddit.com/r/thegrandtour/comments/18axdto/clarksons_columns_10000_steps_a_day_im_not_a/
By Jeremy Clarkson (The Sunday Times, Dec. 03)
I’m a busy man. I write two newspaper columns every week for The Sunday Times and one for The Sun, I run a farm and I have a brewery. And a shop. I also present two television shows on Amazon and one on ITV. So when I hear that a man of my age should do 10,000 steps a day, I just think: “Right, and how on earth would I find the time to do that?”
-snip-
I do make time to walk the dogs, but I’ve just checked the health app thing on my phone, and it seems that during this daily, hour-long stroll through the woods, I only ever do a maximum of 2,000 steps. So, to do 10,000 steps I’d need to be out there for five hours. And who has five free hours in a day?

Ah, excellent! Do you take a flashlight with you for the 6-7 slot? Or is that mostly in the DST hours? Too dark here. We try to get one walk in every day. Two just doesn’t fit the schedule. Unless we changed it up and did first thing in the morning, and then a mid-afternoon one.
