The number of steps in a kilometer varies depending on stride length, which is influenced by factors such as height, gender, and walking or running pace. On average:
- For walking, it takes about 1,300 to 1,500 steps to cover one kilometer. Specifically, about 1,316 steps for men (with an average step length of 76 cm) and about 1,493 steps for women (with an average step length of 67 cm)
- For running, the number of steps per kilometer decreases due to a longer stride length, ranging roughly from 900 to 1,100 steps per kilometer
In summary, if you are walking, expect roughly 1,300 to 1,500 steps per kilometer, and if running, about 900 to 1,100 steps per kilometer, depending on your individual stride length and pace
