Opinion on factors based on introspection:
- Desire to shorten the parts of the commute where I can’t read a book (on my phone)
- Desire to shorten the commute in general to maximise time at home or work (day is more relaxed if you arrive earlier)
- Have a set of transport departure times in mind, for the optimal ‘smooth’ journey and want to be sure to arrive early enough to guarantee not missing these. Lowers stress.
- Brisk walking raises heart rate and brings endorphins
- Everyone else walks at this speed. To deviate makes it harder for the person deviating as they aren’t working with the ‘flow’.
