Does walking fast prevent eggs hatching?
I have a couple of eggs that I've picked up from some Pokestops (I'm lucky enough to live above one).
I walk a lot. I get to work through a 2 mile walk / train journey every day, so I should be picking up loads of steps for the eggs I have. However, because I'm normally always running late... for everything, I have to rush everywhere, so I walk at an above average pace.
Today I've walked around 5 miles, but the game has registered 100 metres. Is this because I walk too fast, or because of something else?
It's worth pointing out that I have the app open when walking... mostly because I have to catch them all. (This made me miss a train this morning... luckily I was early :D)

I went for a 5km run and it only tracked a little over a 1.5km. Had the app open the whole time and slowed down or stopped several times to catch pokemon. I dont know if the stopping threw the tracking off or the changing of speeds. I'm hoping it just a bug in the game right now and will be fixed, because I would prefer to go for my daily runs and catch pokemon than have to walk the whole time.

How fast can you walk and still hatch eggs?
How fast can you walk to hatch a Pok\xe9mon Egg? It's currently believed the optimal speed for hatching a Pok\xe9mon Go is 10.5 KM/H (6.5 M/H). Go slower, and it'll just take you longer to hatch. Go faster, and Pok\xe9mon Go will discount the distance you're traveling or, if you go fast enough, ignore it altogether.How many walks does it take to hatch an egg?

Answer 2
I noticed earlier as I was walking, it stopped showing my character walking. I just closed the app and reopened. Perhaps that could be your issue.
Answer 3
Saw a video where someone said the max speed allowed is about 8km/hr which is about 5 mph. Which is about the pace of speed walking. However My brother said 20 mph which means you could probably ride a bike and you should be fine.
I was driving a car in city around 30mph and it did not count the distance towards my egg hatching. GPS tracking also does matter for this. Servers could also be an issue. The PokemonGo app MUST be ON to while walking/jogging/running/biking/etc.
Answer 4
I have gotten the impression but have not run tests to check, egg hatching is faster when you walk/jog in a straight line. For instance was walking around in a cemetery taking lots of turns and retracing my route and it wasn't counting efficiently, but when I walked from one end of Main Street to the other it got that.
Answer 5
The max speed the game works at and max speed to which the tracker works are different. I've kind of noticed about 5-10 mph being the max register for walking (incubation).
Answer 6
Were you walking neer a road at any time? I have noticed wether it's car,bike or walking, it dos t like to register if your character is on a road"past the white outline" if I hold my phone against the window in the car it registers off the road sometimes and my distance increased greatly, the. If I'm walking on a sidewalk and my character is on the road it won't register or barely at all.
