If it takes you an hour to walk one mile then you're only walking at a pace of one mile an hour. On a flat level surface the average person should be able to walk one mile in about 17 to 20-21 minutes.
On a treadmill at the air conditioned gym I walk much faster, but on my neighborhood trail it's 4 mi/hr, or a little over. The terrain is not level and often there's the sun.
On typical sidewalk walking, I walk pretty fast. I find myself always passing people.
When I walk my dog, we cover 6 miles in about 90 minutes. That's with at least 2 poop stops and several marking stops. We do that every day, plus or minus a mile. So that's about 4 mph on average. On these walks, I sometimes pass other walkers, and sometimes other walkers pass me.
