How long does it take to walk 9 miles?

Question

Alright thanks to all...My bloody car broke down this morning and it won't be fixed until monday. So I will have to walk 9 miles to my stupid job..

Answer 1

Hi,

in general, at a brisk pace, about 15 minutes per mile, so, about 2 hours 15 minutes.  Happy walking!

Answer 2

Depends on how fast you walk.  My husband is in the army .. He has Physical Fitness tests and it takes him 13 minutes to run 2 miles.  SO if you want to base on running it would take him 117 minutes to run 9 miles.  walking I would say double it maybe? that would make it a little more than 3 hours or so

Answer 3

Where are you walking, flat trail, above 8000 feet, at sea level, up hill, down hill or ?????   On the flats I walk 3 miles in 50 - 55 minutes, so I could do it between 3 hours and 3 hours and 20 minutes depending on the temperature.

Most people probably walk a little over 3mph, and VERY few walk at 4mph, as the miles wear on, you slow down as you tire and the temperature rises.  In the military during AIT I ran the mile in combat boots in less than 6 minutes, but could not average that over 9 miles, specailly in the heat where I trained so its really unreasonable to believe that most people will be able to substain their best time over a longer walk or run.  You have to pace yourself.

Answer 5

I'll go with what the others said, but I'd also advise you to see if you could borrow someone's bike if you know how to ride it, and/or see if  one of your friends could take you to work, or maybe ride a bus there.

Answer 6

If you are fit, the normal rate is 4 mile per hour
