    Sad, but with a lower risk of diabetes:

    Every 1 km/hour increase in walking speed was associated with a 9% lower risk of type 2 diabetes, with the minimal threshold of 4km/hour equal to 87 steps/min for men and 100 steps/ min for women, the findings suggest.

    it is pretty stressful when I’m trying to get somewhere and I’m slowed down by someone who is walking too slow for my pace but too fast for me to overtake them, especially when I have to cross the road many times.

    Step dad propaganda. They’ll tell you anything to get you from running around the pool.

    So interesting as I intentionally walk slower now. There’s something cathartic about watching people pass you constantly knowing nothing they’re going to is that important in the grand scheme of things.
