the ideal pace is ~3+ mph, according to the vet, so you would also want to pick up the pace on the 30 minute 1 mile.

The distance was just for the sake of the post. I usually find somewhere we can walk that I can take the leash off and let him blast around.

I have several different paths I take my dog on and each one offers a different experience for him. One way has a nice spot for chasing a tennis ball another has lots to sniff and scavenge. We'll start out and I'll let him pick which direction he wants to go. It's his time so I try and make it as fun and stimulating as I can.

We never take the same route twice in a row.
