My Mayland calendar (somehow it knows everything...) boldly states that 1 english mile is 1,609Km, so THAT means 0,42/1.609 equals 0,261 miles per minutte. Times 60, that's 15,6619 miles per hour. All because I don't, for the life of me, know how many feet per mile.
5280 ft = 1 mile.

15.7 mph seems about right.
