The mathematics of scout’s pace
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2016
Extract
Scout‘s pace, according to my old boy scout manual, consisted of alternately walking and running 22 yards. I believe it is also used by military scouts and messengers who wish to travel at a moderate speed without too much effort. As I have also discovered, it is useful for elderly, overweight athletes with a low pain tolerance.
