Show the steps
- Stride length = height × 0.414 = 67.0 × 0.414 = 27.7 inches.
- Distance = steps × stride = 10,000 × 27.7 = 277,380 inches.
- Miles = inches ÷ 63,360 = 4.378. Kilometers = miles × 1.609344 = 7.045.
- Calories ≈ 0.53 × weight (lb) × miles = 371 kcal. This is a rough estimate.
Steps to miles
Stride ≈ height × 0.414 (walking) or × 1.2 (running)
Miles = steps × stride in inches ÷ 63,360
- Stride length varies with speed, terrain and the person. For a precise stride, walk 10 steps, measure the distance and divide by 10.
