How many steps have I walked/run?You may have returned from a walk or run and calculated that you've travelled a set number of miles. What you may now be wondering is how many steps you've walked or run for that number of miles. It is for this purpose that we've created this calculator. We can, of course, work out a very generalised figure based upon the 'average' calculation for steps to miles - it is said that the average human takes around 2,250 steps to walk a mile, reaching the mile mark in about 20 minutes. However, this won't be terribly accurate, because calculating an accurate figure for the number of steps you take to walk or run a mile requires you to take into account for a number of different factors, including your gender, height, weight and walking/running pace. As a very crude example, a person of short stature will take more steps in walking a mile than a 7ft tall giant. Our calculators, and the chart below, reference data from a 2008 research study of one-mile step counts at walking and running speeds, published in the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal. The study concentrated on the number of steps people took at varying speeds of walking and running. All participants were regarded as being of 'normal weight'. 1

FAQHow many steps is 2 miles?Two miles of walking at a speed of around 3 mph equates to around 4,500 steps. Your step length should be taken into consideration for an accurate conversion. A woman of average height (5ft 3in) walking 2 miles at a regular walking speed of 3 mph will take about 4,650 steps, whilst a man of average height (5ft 9in) will take about 4,420 steps. When running, your step and stride length will lengthen, meaning you take less steps for the distance involved. A woman of average height (5ft 3) running 2 miles at a speed of 6mph will take around 3,340 steps. A man of average height (5ft 9) running 2 miles will take around 3,180 steps. How many steps is 3 miles?Three miles of walking at a speed of around 3 mph equates to around 6,750 steps. Your step length should be taken into consideration for an accurate conversion. A woman of average height (5ft 3in) walking 3 miles at a regular walking speed of 3 mph will take about 6,990 steps, whilst a man of average height (5ft 9in) will take about 6,630 steps. How many steps is 4 miles?Four miles of walking at a speed of around 3 mph equates to around 9,000 steps. Step lengths vary based upon gender, height, weight and walking speed. A woman of average height (5ft 3in) walking 4 miles at a regular walking speed of 3 mph will take about 9,315 steps, whilst a man of average height (5ft 9in) will take about 8,840 steps. How many steps is 5 miles?Five miles of walking at a speed of around 3 mph equates to around 11,260 steps. As step lengths vary with gender, height, weight and walking speed, your step length should be factored in to get an accurate conversion. A woman of average height (5ft 3in) walking 5 miles at a regular walking speed of 3 mph will take about 11,640 steps, whilst a man of average height (5ft 9in) will take about 11,056 steps.

How many steps is 3 miles?How many steps are there in 3 miles? Walking 3 miles means taking around 6-7 thousand steps. The exact number depends on the individual's height and stride length. If we assume an average stride length (2.2 ft for women and 2.5 ft for men), 3 miles will take 6,336 male steps and 7,206 female steps.
Is 10000 steps equal to 3 miles?An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles.
How many miles is 20000 steps?How far is 20,000 steps in miles/km? For a person with an average walking stride length between 2.2 feet and 2.5 feet, it adds up to roughly 10 miles (16 km).
How many miles are 5000 steps?As many people take approximately two steps per stride, the average stride length is approximately 24 inches. If you assume that you step with each foot, this means that the average pace is approximately 2.5 miles per hour (mph). Therefore, 5000 steps is approximately 12,500 inches, which is approximately 3.5 miles.
How many miles is 40000 steps?Walking and Running. How many miles is 7000 steps?(WLS) -- Here's a new reason to count your steps. Walking 7,000 steps a day reduces the risk of death in middle-aged adults by up to 70%, according to new research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. That's about three miles.
