The number of miles in 10,000 steps depends on the length of your stride, which varies by person. However, a common estimate is:
- Average stride length: about 2.1 to 2.5 feet per step
- 10,000 steps: roughly 4 to 5 miles
Calculation 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
- If your stride length is 2.1 feet:
- 10,000 steps × 2.1 feet = 21,000 feet
- 21,000 feet ÷ 5,280 feet per mile ≈ 3.98 miles
Summary:
- 10,000 steps ≈ 4 to 5 miles depending on your stride length.
If you want a more precise estimate, you can measure your stride length by walking a known distance and counting your steps, then use that to calculate your exact miles per 10,000 steps.
