Converts steps to distance using stride length. Average stride: 0.71m (women), 0.78m (men). Distance = steps x stride length.

About 4.7 miles (7.5 km) at an average stride of 0.75 m. With a longer stride (around 0.8 m) it rounds up to roughly 5 miles or 8 km. Taller people cover more ground per step, so set your own stride above for an exact figure.

Roughly 2.3 miles (3.75 km) at an average 0.75 m stride. A brisk walker with a longer stride covers closer to 2.5 miles. Stride length is the main variable.

About 7 miles (11.3 km) at a 0.75 m stride, or up to 7.5 miles (12 km) with a longer stride. That is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours of walking for most people.

Around 9.3 miles (15 km) at an average stride, climbing to about 10 miles (16 km) for taller walkers. Expect roughly 3 hours of walking at a steady pace.

About 2,000 to 2,250 steps per mile for walking, depending on stride and pace. Running stretches the stride, so a mile of running takes fewer steps, often 1,400 to 1,700.

Multiply your steps by your stride length in metres, then divide by 1,000. At a 0.75 m stride, 1,000 steps is 0.75 km, so 10,000 steps is about 7.5 km. The converter does this automatically once you enter your stride. Popular conversions: 5,000, 8,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 steps.
