Did You Know?
Charles Darwin walked a fixed loop near his home every day, he called it his "Sandwalk" and used it to think through his ideas, including parts of what became On the Origin of Species.
About 60% of your walking cycle is spent with a foot planted on the ground (stance) and the other 40% swinging through the air (swing). Speed up or slow down, and that ratio barely shifts, it's one of the more consistent things about human gait.
