I have been a competitive distance runner for 40 years. A 6 minute per mile run if freaking tough, and a 10K at 6 per mile would place high as a finisher. Walking 1.5 miles at 6???? Not saying you are not honest, but that is senior Olympic numbers. Kudos to you if you can.
I trained WildLand firefighters, and they had to carry a 50 pound pack, “The Pack Test” required walking, can’t run with that pack on, and 6 per mile would pass them. With a Wow!!

Run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes? Those are rock-bottom physical fitness standards. Aristus Tuesday #1

Zero per cent chance you can walk 1.5 miles in 6 minutes. That's maintaining a 4 minute-per-mile pace for 50% longer. Celerity Tuesday #2

Thank you. Traildogbob Tuesday #4
