Nordic walking speed explained - How fast do you walk?

Nordic walking is faster than regular walking because you’re actually propelling yourself with the poles. But most people don’t realize just how fast Nordic walking can really be. In this video, I share my experience as a 70-year-old who has spent decades in the outdoors - paddling, hiking, biking, and doing backyard fitness workouts. I’ve used trekking poles for years, and Nordic-style walking has quickly become one of my favorite ways to stay active. Typical Nordic Walking Speeds: • Beginners: 3.0–3.5 mph • Intermediate: 3.5–4.2 mph • Experienced: 4.2–4.8 mph • Racers: 5.0–6.0+ mph I currently walk 3.5–4 mph, usually carrying a camera backpack and filming across mixed terrain. Speed isn’t my main goal, but it’s interesting to see how fast we can really move with proper technique. 🎥 Want to see my real speed and GPS data?
