## How to use the walking time calculator

Enter a distance and walking pace to get an estimated walking time in minutes — works for kilometers, miles, or a step count.

1. **Enter the distance**  
   Type the distance you plan to walk. You can switch the unit between kilometers and miles, or enter a step count instead.

2. **Pick a walking pace**  
   Choose slow (3.2 km/h), normal (5 km/h), brisk (6.4 km/h), or fast (7.2 km/h). Normal is the default for a typical adult.

3. **Read your walking time**  
   The calculator returns the estimated minutes to cover the distance at each pace, plus a total step estimate.
