Pushing the Limits
Jun 26
So, coming up to race day (next Saturday) I’m challenging myself to reach a personal best speed. So far, my personal best is 35 minutes and 21 seconds for a 5k. It would be cool to get it down to 30 minutes, but that would be a 6 minute kilometer and today’s pace was 7.22. I have a ways to go!
I’ve been using Podrunner’s free walking mixes to set the pace. They give me an hour of music that’s a mix of house, progressive house, breakbeat, funk, tech house, pop remixes, downtempo, and spoken-word poetry. Some of it’s pretty weird stuff, but most of is is just a great way to train endurance. When you start walking for longer periods of time your pace tends to be all over the map. This keeps you focused at a certain speed and it’s pretty uplifting for the most part. Podrunner is actually one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Not a bad accomplishment! They’re just one of the many very useful tools in my walking toolkit
Happy Walking!

PS: Now if any of you are math whizzes, I need you to calculate for me: If walking at 139 beats per minute gives me a 7.22 minute kilometer, how many beats per minute do I need to walk to get a 6 minute kilometer? I’d love you to post the answer below! Thanks.

rate = (7.22 / 6) * 139 = 167.3
Obviously, you will need to take steps more quickly to go further in the same time.

So…..I need to take 167 steps per minute to achieve this, is what you’re saying . . .
