How many steps in a mile?

Question

I have a pedometer and average about 20,000 steps a day. Any idea how many miles that would be? Thanks!

Answer 1

Not sure, but if you have a stretch of road or something that you know is 1 mile or 1/2 mile or even 1/4 mile, you should walk it, see how many steps it is, then that would let you know how many steps in 1 mile. Then take that number and divide it into 20,000 to determine how many miles in 20,000 steps.

Answer 2

Steps In A Mile

Answer 3

The average human steps are 3 feet apart....so find out how many feet are in a mile and divide by 3

Answer 4

There are 5280 feet in a mile or 63,360 inches per mile. If your average step is 32 inches, there 1980 steps per mile. 20,000 steps divided by 1980 would equal 10.1 miles.

Answer 5

Measure a known length and see how many steps it takes.

My guess is that your stride is around 2 feet, which is close to 8 miles. Either you do a lot of walking or that distance also includes your exercise routine.

Answer 6

If your step is 2 feet, then there will be 2640 steps in a mile (5280 feet). 20,000 steps would be about 8 miles.

Answer 7

It depends how big your steps are. The average person's stride is 2.5 feet and that makes close to 10 miles for you.

The trick is to get your pace right, and not be drawn into too fast a first lap. If you're aiming for a sub-5 min, in training run repetition 75 seconds 400 metres: run one lap, walk one lap, and so on until you can do ten in a row, always with one lap walk in between. In the race itself, remember that even speed does not feel anything like even outpouring of effort. In other words, although your first lap at your chosen pace may feel easy, you will have to make more effort in subsequent laps to keep up that pace. Best of luck! Edit: interesting rejoinder, John. It's the old middle distance argument: do you aim for a regular pace, and stick to it no matter what, or do you "surge" to try and burn off the opposition? I would suggest that surging is ultimately counter-productive, as your final time with such uneven pace won't be as good as with a steadier approach (check out the stats.). Also, you need to be very fit indeed to pull this off, and it seems our questioner isn't quite there yet. There's room for both strategies, of course (but not in the same race!). The debate started in the 50's with Franz Stampfl and Percy Cerutty. Stampfl coached Bannister, and Cerutty coached Landy and Elliott.
