Track your walking or running progress by converting steps to miles or kilometers. Our calculator uses your height and activity type to estimate stride length for accurate distance calculations. The average person takes about 2,000-2,500 steps per mile when walking.
The distance you cover per step depends on your stride length, which varies based on height, gender, and whether you're walking or running. Taller people generally have longer strides. Running typically increases stride length by 50-60% compared to walking. Our calculator uses research-based multipliers to estimate your stride: approximately 41.5% of height for walking and 60-65% for running.
