Power walking
Power walking or speed walking is the act of walking with a speed at the upper end of the natural range for the walking gait, typically 7 to 9 km/h (4.3 to 5.5 mph). To qualify as power walking as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times (see walking for a formal definition).
In 1999, the Berlin Marathon included a Power Walking division.
Power walking is often confused with racewalking.
Power walking techniques involve the following:
Competitions are held for power walking competitions, with world records held in categories including 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, 30 km, marathon, and multiday distances.
A 2021 study, where post coronary angioplasty patients were introduced power walking based on their ejection fraction, VO2 max calculation, heart rate monitoring and pedometer counts. Those participants in power walking groups benefited significantly on quality of life and various physiological parameters. A Vanderbilt University Medical Center study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in 2025 reported that 15 minutes of fast walking each day contributed to a range of health benefits.
