How long would it take to walk 1.5 miles?

Question

I'm going to start walking to school and i need to know how long it takes if i want to walk that long... If you can help thanks a lot.

Answer 1

A woman of average size can walk comfortably at speeds of 3.5 to 4 miles an hour.  You should be able to walk 1.5 miles in 15-17 minutes.  Allow yourself about 20 minutes the first few times you walk.  

Answer 2

Generally somewhere between 16-19 minutes for me.

Answer 3

A brisk walk, but not getting out of breath, is about 3 mph - so half an hour should do it. Add 10 minutes on the first day for safety.

Answer 4

Each person walks at a different pace. You will walk at a different pace depending on your mood, sad - slow, happy- faster.

Also if you listen to music. Want to walk faster? listen to upbeat music.

My suggestion. Walk it yourself before school starts and add 15 minutes to your time. It is always better to be early than late.

My daughter walks sloooooooooooow and she leaves for school 1 hour to the bell. soooooooo....

Why need to wait? Is it a safety issue? Walking alone? Your right... Be safe!!!   :)

Answer 5

How fast are you walking ???

Answer 6

15 minutes or so, maybe 20. I figure I can do a mile in a little over 10 minutes, but I am a brisk walker.
