Frequently Asked Questions

How many steps are in a mile?
On average, there are about 2,000-2,500 steps in a mile when walking. For a person of average height (5'7"), it is approximately 2,200 steps per mile walking and 1,500-1,700 steps per mile running.
How far is 10,000 steps?
For most people, 10,000 steps is approximately 4.5-5 miles (7.2-8.0 km) when walking. The exact distance depends on your stride length, which is influenced by height and walking speed.
Does stride length change when running vs walking?
Yes. Running stride length is significantly longer than walking stride, typically 2.5-3x longer. This means you cover more distance per step when running, so the same number of steps equals a greater distance.
