Am I a fast walker?

  • June 8, 2020

I usually try to avoid public transport and walk as much as possible. When I check Google Maps, it always gives a longer commute time than I actually need. This got me thinking, am I a fast walker? If yes, how fast?

To find out, I recorded my walks with Endomondo during February and March this year. I then compared my data with the average walking speed (according to Google) and conducted a t-test. It turns out that my walking speed is significantly faster than an average persons, 6 km/h compared to 5.2 km/h (p < .05)
