Walking Pace Calculator – Speed, METs, Distance, Energy Cost

Walking Pace Calculator delivers detailed walking analysis from distance, time, elevation, body weight, height, load, and temperature. Outputs include average pace, speed, cadence, energy cost, METs, terrain impact, fatigue risk, recovery time, and session classification for fitness, hiking, or daily walking.
