Walking Pace Counting I walk pretty fast, under 15 minute miles, pumping my arms and looking like a fool. Today I sustained a 14:30min/mile pace for 6 miles on mostly streets, with only a touch of jogging thrown in on a downhill. It was a good workout! I think I earned the right to do not much else today. $290! Is there a less expensive, less goofy-looking version that works just as well??? Beam me up, Scotty. Lately I�ve been trying to mix in some jogging into my walking routines. I�ll do 50 paces of walking and 50 paces of jogging, or 100/100, and keeping the numbers in my head does wonders to make things go by quickly and also helps me judge distances � a good skill to have. I go about: 20 paces = 80m � the marks on my compass 30 paces = 100m 75 paces = 250m 240 paces = .5 mile 300 paces = 1km I have little marks on my compass that equal 20 paces (about 80m) and when I measure that against a 1:10,000 map, I can tell how many paces it will take me to get from point A to point B. Roughly. My dad helped me figure that out, believe me this stuff confuses me. I only just started pace counting, and I think it�s made a huge difference for me. I like how the pacing replaces worrisome thoughts, too; aside from it being a great way to take a distance on the map and bring it into reality. It will be interesting at Springton Manor, where the map is 1:5,000 � so each pace marker will equal 10 paces. I�ll get there more quickly!
