Stride Length Calculator: Running and Walking

Your details

Height estimate uses a sex-adjusted multiplier. Measured mode is more accurate.
Used to apply the appropriate height-to-stride multiplier.
Running strides are roughly 10% longer than walking strides at the same height.
Your standing height. Stride length scales with height at roughly 0.41-0.46 times height.

Your stride length is 4.70 ft (56.4 in).

  • Your stride length is 4.70 ft (56.4 in), meaning each left-foot-to-left-foot cycle covers that distance.
  • At this stride length you take about 2,245 steps per mile and 1,395 steps per kilometre.
  • Running at a cadence of 160 steps per minute, your speed works out to 4.28 mph (6.88 km/h).
  • This is an estimate based on your height. For a more accurate figure, walk or run a measured distance and count your steps, then use "Measure from distance + steps" mode.

Next stepTo hit 10,000 steps a day, divide 10,000 by your steps per mile to find how many miles that is for your unique stride.
