What is Average? Hikers will vary in their conditioning, weight of gear, natural fitness, comfort range, and several other factors that influence hiking speed. With all these considered, most hikers will average about 2-3 miles per hour (3.2-4.8 km/h). Besides personal differences, different trails will have a huge impact on your hiking speed. Some trails are at a higher elevation, which decreases the amount of oxygen replenishing your muscles.
How long should I allow for an 8-mile hike? Naturally, that depends on a lot of factors, including the trail condition, how flat it is, and your level of fitness. A rule of thumb is to allow one hour to hike two miles; and another hour for each thousand feet of altitude you re gaining.So 8 miles over flat terrain will take 4 hours for a typical hiker.he usual rule of thumb is to walk at least 50 miles in your new boots before wearing them for an extended hike. Start with short walks. You don t want to get halfway into a 15-mile hike and realize you ve got a new blister forming. Wear the boots when you walk to work, to the grocery store, to do errands.
