On average, there are about 2,000 to 2,500 steps in one mile when walking, depending on factors like stride length, height, and walking speed
. Using the common average of 2,000 steps per mile, walking 2 miles would be approximately 4,000 steps
. More detailed estimates show:
- Walking 2 miles typically involves about 4,100 to 4,600 steps for most people, with women tending to take slightly more steps due to shorter stride length
- Running 2 miles usually requires fewer steps, around 3,000 to 3,500 steps, because running strides are longer than walking strides
In summary:
- Walking 2 miles: roughly 4,000 to 4,600 steps
- Running 2 miles: roughly 3,000 to 3,500 steps
The exact number varies with individual stride length, speed, terrain, and other factors
. Thus, a good general estimate is about 4,000 steps for 2 miles walked.
