Frequently Asked Questions
Where does your walking speed data come from?
Our data comes from the Bohannon & Andrews (2011) meta-analysis published in Physiotherapy, which consolidated data from 41 studies with 23,111 participants. This is the largest study of normal walking speeds ever published. Read more on our About page.
Why are my actual walking times different from the calculator?
Our calculators provide estimates based on average walking speeds. Your actual time may vary based on terrain, weather, fitness level, rest breaks, and many other factors. Use our calculations as a starting point and adjust based on your experience.
Can I use your calculators for route planning?
Our calculators estimate time based on distance, not specific routes. For actual route planning with turn-by-turn directions, we recommend using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or dedicated walking apps like AllTrails or MapMyWalk.
Do you offer an API or data licensing?
We don't currently offer a public API. If you're interested in using our data or methodology for your project, please contact us to discuss partnership opportunities.
