Health experts around the world agree… the “tipping point” of advantage to aerobic exercise (like walking!) is 30 minutes. Walking for longer than 30 minutes and/or walking at a faster pace (higher intensity) increase the benefit, but the minimum is 30 minutes of exercise.
So why are Walk Urban Indy’s maps measured in miles?
1) So you know what you are signing yourself up to do; most of us have a pretty good idea of what “1 mile” is.
2) Our walks are “loop routes” so that you start and end at the same place; this is a key advantage for walkers who want company on their walks.
3) Human natures wants to measure progress and it’s difficult to measure “30 minutes” from one day to the next unless you are going around and around a smaller area (counting laps around a gym for example).
But WUI doesn’t see it as minutes VS miles, but rather minutes AND miles (m&m’s).

Walking 1.5 miles at a moderate rate (3 m/hr) takes… wait for it… about 30 minutes!
If you have been doing the 1 mile, after a time you will find you are probably walking faster than when you started your walking program and that it isn’t taking up the whole 30 minutes. In the urban neighborhoods, you typically have the option of walking around one of the surrounding blocks to add time – OR – you might want to start moving up to a 1.5 mile route.
The same with your 1.5 mile – eventually it won’t take 30 minutes either and you can add a block loop or move up to a 2 mile route (if you can do the 2 mile in 30 minutes, that is an brisk 4 m/hr pace!).
Suggestion: when you decide to move up to the next longer route, don’t just do it “cold turkey” – weave it into your walking program. An example would be to go from doing a 1 mile walk M – F to doing the 1 mile on M, W, F and the 1.5 on Tuesday and Thursday. Take a few weeks to build up to the point where you are doing the 1.5 every day.
Here’s another: If you want to pick up your pace, don’t lengthen your stride – you actually want to concentrate on smaller, quicker steps – rolling your feet in a full heel-ball-toe motion. It seems counter-intuitive, but it really is more efficient.
And don’t forget to do your pre-walking stretches!
