I've quoted the 2 things that struck me, that walking faster is putting our health in dangerBut an international study commissioned by the British Council suggests urban populations are walking faster and faster, and putting their health in danger in the process.
Researchers in 35 city centres timed how long it took 70 people unencumbered by phones, shopping and companions to walk 60 feet.

I found this on the BBC News website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6614637.stm
and that those who where timed where 'unencumbered by phones, shopping and companions' which means the speed figures are useless.

I scored 60, probably because I try not to rush my food.disgruntledpostie1 wrote:I found this site to http://www.paceoflife.co.uk/, there is a test on it which I'm ashamed to say I scored 70
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

I've no idea how you guys can score so low, of course it could be the reason my anxiety levels are so high.
