8 1/8's make a mile cause then it is 8/8 which equals 1.

There are 8 1/8th's in a mile. There are 8 furlongs to a mile, 5280 feet in a mile, 1760 yards in a mile, 1620 meters in a mile, 63360 inches in a mile. 3 miles is equivalent to a league (a measure not used anymore) there are 66 chains in a mile, a chain is 66 feet which is the exact length of a cricket pitch. I walk exactly 6400 meters every day for exercise so how many miles, feet and inches is that??

8 '1/8s' make 1 mile.
Yes, the combo of walking and running or walking and then walking hard is a good combo to start with. You ideally want to get to the point where you are keep an elevated heartrate for 45 minutes straight...by elevated, meaning breathing hard enough that a conversation is difficult.
