I do a lot of walking and a fair bit of running. Where I live, in hilly terrain, anything under a 20 min mile is a fast walk. That’s 3 mph. When walking fast, I generally get under 19 min/mile. So 30 minutes would be around 1.5 miles, and that is maybe 3,000 steps.
Yep! Agree.
About my average/half hour, as well.
I wish I had hills where I live. Luckily our neighborhood has a gym with a treadmill, so in the middle of my walk, I can go in there, and do 15-30 minutes, at the highest incline setting, and then after I carry on with the rest of the walk.
IMHO, running and jogging is the biggest waste of time. All it does is raise your cortisol levels and destroys your joints.
Actually, I am hoping to get back into doing sprints. About 20 reps of 5-second full-out sprints, twice a week, is like going to a gym and lifting weights.
I always point out, that all you have to do is compare the bodies of sprinters versus those of long-distance runners.
