speed walking
Fast pedestrian locomotion
Speed walking is walking at a brisk, athletic pace—faster than a stroll but without breaking into a run.
At least one foot must remain in contact with the ground at all times, distinguishing it from running.
As a competitive sport, racewalking has strict form requirements and appears in the Olympics.
Casually, speed walking describes anyone hustling on foot: I was speed walking to make my flight.
