So if we're at a half mile - average walker would do it in around 10minutes and a slightly faster walker would be in the 7-8minute range.
While those speeds are possible for a fit, active individual, that would be in an unobstructed environment. As mentioned, the hallways of EWR are many times very congested, hence the suggestion that walking from the C74 UC to the high 130 gates (138 in the posted case), 10-15 minutes is a more realistic as advice to provide to another poster (of unknown capabilities).
