Re: [RC] 10 minute mile - Patty P

My aerobic workout walk is 4.5...and that makes a good workout...I have to come down to rest pretty often...to 3.5. My horse enjoys trotting between 6 and 8...but walks very slow...slower than I do. Hopefully by next year at this time his walk will have improved and keep up with me! LOL

A 10 minute mile is six miles an hour. Thats a pretty good clip at a
walk. I suspect most horses average about 2 to 4 mph at the walk and
most humans are closer to 2 than to 4. At six mph I would expect most
trotting horses would jog or trot.
