How long to jog 6 miles through traffic?
« on: 22 March 2012, 16:03 »
So how long would it take to jog 6 miles

During rush hour, starting at 5pm, the route is pretty straight, its from my work place to home

There is a huge roundabout to negotiate as well as a huge ring road with a multitude of side roads and obviously pedestrians to dodge

Over an hour. I do 1 mile every 10 minutes at a decent pace.

It would be 18, but even then it would be pretty fast!! :grin:

I'd say about 45 - 50 mins

If you go 4, 5 and 6 mph increments, do it over time frames you will get fitter faster. I walk 5 minutes, walk faster for 3 minutes then run 5 minutes (fast jog) and repeat with the slow walk being 3 minutes after the first time.

It would be on the path, when i mean traffic, i mean cars/bikes turning into side roads and turning out of side roads etc that would get in the way

Will try Jules' method and see how I get on

If i can do it in 60-90 minutes then I would not mind jogging home from work, any longer it would be a pain
