Crossword Genius

Walk at speed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pace

This clue is a double definition.

'walk' is the first definition.
(I know that walk is a more specific form of the action pace)

'speed' is the second definition.
(pace is a kind of speed)

'at' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pace that I've seen before include "Gait" , "Part of step" , "Rate of progress" , "Clip" , "a certain distance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
