The number of kilometers covered in 10,000 steps depends on walking or running pace and stride length, but generally:
- At an average walking pace, 10,000 steps equal about 7 to 7.1 kilometers.
- At a brisk walk, it is roughly 8.3 kilometers.
- Running 10,000 steps covers closer to 9.6 kilometers.
For a typical average person walking, 10,000 steps correspond to approximately 6 to 8 kilometers overall, commonly rounded to around 7 to 8 kilometers. This variation is due to individual stride length and speed differences.
