There are two racewalking distances contested at the Summer Olympics: the 20 kilometres race walk (men and women) and 50 kilometres race walk (men only). Both are held as road events. The biennial IAAF World Championships in Athletics also features these three events, in addition to a 50 km walk for women.
If it takes you 20 minutes, that's 3 mph; 15 minutes is 4 mph; 13 minutes is 4.5 mph, and 12 minutes is a highly athletic 5 mph. The brisker your pace, the more calories you will burn. But if all you can manage is a 20-minute mile, don't worry; walk regularly, and within 3 weeks, your pace and endurance will increase.Oct 21, 2015
