Bacon has an ancient history. The domestication of pigs (immature hogs) for food dates back to about 7000 B.C. in the Middle East. Some historians say that bacon made from hogs was a favorite of the early Romans and Greeks. About 500 years ago, bacon or bacoun (a Middle English term) referred to all pork.
Although walking speeds can vary greatly depending on many factors such as height, weight, age, terrain, surface, load, culture, effort, and fitness, the average human walking speed is about 5.0 kilometres per hour (km/h), or about 3.1 miles per hour (mph).

You will walk 4 kilometres in 40 minutes at an average speed of 100 metres per minute. Any increase in walking duration uses more food energy, increases your loss of body mass, and builds strength, especially if you get off the beaten path and walk up and down some hills.
