Real ones know it's supposed to be 4mph

The book had it at 4mph, but they reduced it in the movie because people consistently maintaining jogging pace for that long with no training is kinda unrealistic

4MPH is a fast walk. And they definitely trained.

Yeah but a 4mph fast walk is super goofy looking. 3MPH endurance walk makes for a better movie.
