Then go out and walk the mile. If it takes you 20 minutes, that's 3 mph; 15 minutes is 4 mph; 13 minutes is 4Â½ mph, and 12 minutes is a highly athletic 5 mph. The brisker your pace, the more calories you will burn. But if all you can manage is a 20-minute mile, don't worry; walk regularly, and within 3 weeks, your pace and endurance will increase. Aim for 4 to 6 power walks a week.
