" I Think" A lot of it has to do with a persons natural stride. I find it awfully annoying to walk slow. But as a father and husband I am bound to often. It doesn't been I enjoy the hike less just for different reasons.

I have a friend I regularly hike with who is pushing 7' tall and all legs who I practically have to jog behind to keep up. If I ask him to slow down he responds he already has.

Some people just walk faster than others. Doesn't mean we enjoy the hike any less
