Question:
How fast should you be walking on your treadmill?

I looked at several treadmills last night. Im not running any races. The speeds were 5 MPH (198$) , 8 MPH( 298$ & 10 MPH.(398$) I cant figure out, is 5 MPH an ok speed? other than the horsepower they all had the same stuff pretty much.    — Connie M. (posted on January 23, 2002)

At about 3.8/4.0 miles an hour I had to start jogging. So 5mph is fine if you don't think you will be running.

I walk at 3.0 - 3.5 mph. I find that to be a comfortable pace. 3.8-4.0, for me, is jogging. You do need to look at horsepower and go for the stronger motor, more than the speed, because of our bodyweight. Good luck and happy walking!
