I bought the book just for some guidance and see if there are good tips. I also need a walking plan so hopefully there is something in the book for that.
I can walk comfortably at 3.8-3.9 and do 4.0. The fastest I have walked is 4.3 on the TM and that is pushing it. I am trying to walk at least those 10,000 steps a day and so far this week I have done so, even if it means getting on the treadmill when I get home from work. I was doing well with this goal, and then I was just getting what I was getting but I really need to stick with it. |

It isn't the breathing that keeps me from 4 mph it's apparently my legs. I'm a runner too so I never really get winded walking except sometimes on hills. I walk my dog 3 times a day so I'm pretty efficient at it and maintain good form. Maybe it's an excuse but I really just don't think my body is going to allow me to walk that speed outside and feel right.
