Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1]The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent.
This is not exactly a Cooper test but a reasonable practical compromise as long as the distance is of sufficient length to put a continuous load on the cardiovascular system for 10 or more minutes. For example, the British Army uses 1.5 miles, the Australian Army uses 2.4 kilometers, the US Army uses 2 miles and the US Marine Corps 3 miles.
According to the U.S. Army, a 180-pound soldier walking 6 kilometers at a 4 mph pace with a 35-pound pack will burn 680 calories. Without the pack, the same guy would burn an average of 410 calories.
Blue plaque recording the first sub-four-minute mile, run by Roger Bannister on 6 May 1954 at Oxford University's Iffley Road Track. A four-minute mile is the completion of a mile run (1.6 km) in four minutes or less. It translates to a speed of 15 miles per hour (24 km/h). [1] It is a standard of professional middle distance runners in several ...
A 155-pound person burns about 360 calories in 30 minutes of running at a 10 minute/mile pace, according to Harvard Medical School. Run a single mile at that pace and you'll burn about 120 calories.
Try intervals to help you push yourself and acclimate to a faster pace, closer to four miles per hour or a 15-minute mile pace. How you do that is up to you. You could walk more quickly for a ...
For example, two individuals with different measures of VO 2 max, running at 7 mph are running at the same absolute intensity (miles/hour) but a different relative intensity (% of VO 2 max expended). The individual with the higher VO 2 max is running at a lower intensity at this pace than the individual with the lower VO 2 max is. [3]
