While walking may not be a better workout, it may be a better exercise choice for some. The National Walkers Health Study, found that the energy used for moderate walking compared to vigorous running has similar reductions for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.
A distance of 2 miles should take around 50 minutes. 1 mile will take around 25 minutes, while 0.8 miles will take around 20 minutes.
As a general rule, the faster you go, the more calories you will burn exponentially since your body uses more energy to go faster. At a moderate speed per hour you will burn less calories than walking at a faster rate, e.g. a moderate to fast pace.
