Well, it went so quickly, I thought I’d missed something. Ended up 10 mins away from home when I should have been much closer. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I walk at 155 steps per minute. Still finding it impossible to run at a speed slower than my walking speed. πŸ˜¬πŸ˜†

Maybe try small steps. It will make you slower. As more steps to travel the longer distance

I'm only 5'2 so my steps are very small. If they are any smaller.... πŸ˜‚

155 steps a minute is very fast for walking, that's my speed for slower runs.

The thing is, I’m wondering if it’s the speed of my recording ie the podcast - I couldn’t see the difference between 150 and 155. πŸ€”

There isn't all that much difference between 150 and 155, however, if you were running a 5K, your time would be a little better at 155.
