Naismith's rule helps with the planning of a walking or hiking expedition by calculating how long it will take to travel the intended route, including any extra time taken when walking uphill. This rule of thumb was devised by William W. Naismith, a Scottish mountaineer, in 1892. [1] [3] [4] A modern version can be formulated as follows:
Using those benchmarks, here’s how long it should take you to walk five miles (about 10,000 steps): Walking Paces. Leisurely pace, 3.0 mph: About 100 minutes. Moderate pace, 3.5 mph: About 80 ...
Power walking is the act of walking with a speed at the upper end of the natural range for walking gait, typically 7 to 9 km/h (4.3 to 5.6 mph). To qualify as power walking as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times. Racewalking is a long-distance athletic event.
In Japan, the standard measure for walking distance is 80 meters for 1 minute of walking time. It is the standard used in real estate listings. It is the standard used in real estate listings. For example, if a building is a 10-minute walk from a particular park or train station, it is 800 meters away.

The number of participants grew over the years, with a peak in 1989 when 7090 people enrolled. Having 3062 participants in 2009, the Kennedy March of Sittard is still the biggest long-distance hike (that is, a hike of more than 59 kilometers) of the Netherlands. Due to the risk of spreading foot-and-mouth disease, the march was cancelled in 2001.
The U.S. Armed Forces definition of an astronaut is a person who has flown higher than 50 miles (80 km) above mean sea level, approximately the line between the mesosphere and the thermosphere. NASA formerly used the FAI's 100-kilometre (62-mile) figure, though this was changed in 2005 to eliminate any inconsistency between military personnel ...
The grading system is based on the physical attributes that are present during the course and the challenges, rather than the effort and fitness that is necessary by the walker. [3] Trail length is not a standard of the system. Rather, trail distance should be posted on signs in addition to the difficulty symbol. [4]
