How to use the Steps to Distance Calculator
- 1Enter your step count from a pedometer or phone tracker.
- 2Estimate stride length as roughly 0.415 x height for walking, or measure it directly.
- 3Recalculate stride length if your walking speed changes significantly, since faster strides get longer.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure stride length?
Walk 10 steps, measure the total distance, then divide by 10.
Does running change the stride?
Yes — running strides are typically longer than walking strides for the same person.
