The distance covered by 10,000 steps depends on your stride length, which varies based on factors like height, gender, and walking speed.
Average Distance for 10,000 Steps
- Average stride length: About 2.1 to 2.5 feet (0.64 to 0.76 meters)
- Distance for 10,000 steps:
- In miles: Approximately 4 to 5 miles
- In kilometers: Approximately 6.4 to 8 kilometers
How to Calculate Your Own Distance
- Measure your stride length:
- Walk 10 steps and measure the total distance.
- Divide the distance by 10 to get your average stride length.
- Multiply your stride length by 10,000 steps.
- Convert the total distance into miles or kilometers.
Example
If your stride length is 2.5 feet:
- 10,000 steps × 2.5 feet = 25,000 feet
- 25,000 feet ÷ 5,280 feet per mile ≈ 4.73 miles
So, 10,000 steps would be roughly 4.7 miles for you. If you want, I can help you estimate your stride length based on your height!
