How it works
Distance = steps × stride length ÷ 100,000 (to get kilometres from centimetres).
Worked example
10,000 steps at 75 cm. = 7.5 km.
Common mistakes
- Using a generic stride length — your real stride depends on height and pace, so measure it for accuracy.
- Assuming walking and running strides are the same — running strides are noticeably longer.
Frequently asked questions
How many steps are in a kilometre?
Roughly 1,250–1,550 steps per kilometre for most adults, depending on height and stride; taller people take fewer.
How do I measure my stride length?
Walk 10 metres at a normal pace, count the steps, then divide 10 by that count to get your average stride in metres.
How do I find my stride length?
Walk 10 steps, measure the total distance and divide by 10. As a rough guide, walking stride ≈ height × 0.43.
