How it works
Your stride is estimated as about 0.413 of your height. Multiply that stride by the number of steps to get the distance walked.
Stride length also changes with pace, slopes and fitness, so the answer is a close estimate rather than a measurement.
Worked example
10,000 steps for someone 68 in tall is about 4.43 mi walked.
Questions
How accurate is the stride rule?
It is a rule of thumb. Your own stride may be longer or shorter, and it changes with speed.
How can I check my own stride?
Walk a measured distance, such as 20 metres, count your steps and divide. Compare that with the estimate to see how close it comes.
Does a phone or watch count the same?
Not always. Devices guess steps with sensors, so their counts can differ from a careful manual count.
