I like to listen to military cadence when walking, it kinda helps me to keep track.

Just try and remember: left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. Repeat as necessary.

Turning around with the instant 180 might be dangerous in crowds though.

Do helmets increase aerodynamics?

Some people say they do, I don't know if the added weight is worth it.

I could see getting one just to pick up some chicks while mall walking through.

Dang bro,

Have you ever known the glory of walking?
>>
Daily reminder that running is superior to walking
>>
>>1024915
Fuck off. Running is just walking, except faster.

Walking is more chill, and there for more comfy. Running is for pretentious assholes.
>>
Guys I'm having trouble finding tgat sweet spot between walking and jogging. I'm trying to walk as fast as possible without finding myself starting to break into a jog.

Does anyone have any useful walking optimization tips?

>>1024915
Fuck off idiot

I believe that heel to toe is how monks do it.
>>
>>1027477
But I've heard that toe to heel is more healthy and natural for barefoot walking.

I think slow parkour belongs here.

Fast parkour is running though.
>>

>I think slow parkour belongs here.
I'm okay with that.
>>
>>1033570
How would slow parkour even work?

I thought this waad up by Malcolm in the middle I didn't think this was a real thing.
>>

Just walk up to a rail and casually vault over it and then walk to the next obstacle.
Its great for when you're trying to get to work without excessively wrinkling your clothes and working up a sweat.
>>
>>1034550
I imagine you wouldn't' really be able to wall-up.
You'd have to rely on climbing and jumping to get up to higher places.
But you still have the precision jump, strides, balancing, and most vaults depending on the height.
>>
>>1035277
I will try this when I get a job.
>>
>>1026051
This is a quality retort here my friend

What are the best walking shoes?

I have Sketchers, but I don't know if I love them.

What would be considered a good walking speed.

I feel like I am casually at a 2-3 mph pace.

>I feel like I am casually at a 2-3 mph pace.
