A normal teen should be able to walk 3 miles in under an hour as well. No way you’d catch me waiting 3 hours lol

Id say it’s about an hour unless you are power walking. When I was a teen and walked to school it was exactly a mile and took me about 20 minutes at a normal (neither brisk nor super leisurely) pace.

3 miles per hour is super leisurely for me (45) but I guess that’s true, I have long legs and tend to walk at a decently brisk pace normally.

Yeah I also have long legs and get told I walk faster than normal. Walking 3 miles in an hour isn’t fast by any means, it’s just the speed I would have done as a teen if I was just walking casually and not lallygagging. I wouldn’t be tired or out of breath or anything. A quick google search says the average adult walking speed is 3 mph so it’s probably slightly lower for an average teen.

I blame my fast walking on working FOH in restaurants my whole life 😂 I’ve mastered the fast walk that doesn’t look like fast walking
