How We Calculate Distance from Steps
The conversion from steps to distance depends on your stride length — the distance covered in a single step. Stride length varies based on height, leg length, walking speed, and terrain.
The Formula
Distance = Steps × Stride LengthWe estimate stride length as approximately 41.5% of your height, which is the average ratio found in biomechanics research.
Note: Actual stride length varies. Walking faster increases stride length, while walking uphill decreases it. For most accurate results, measure your actual stride by counting steps over a known distance.
