Converting Steps Into Mileage One mile is 5280 feet. The average stride varies from about two to three feet (two for women, three for men). With a two-foot stride, you would walk a mile in 2640 steps. With a stride of three-feet, it would only take 1760 steps. This is quite a bit of difference. If you really want to know how many steps you need to take to walk one mile, you should measure your own stride. There are several ways to measure your stride length. Here is one way: Measure a length of twenty feet that you can walk. Start a few steps before the beginning of your 20-foot length to get into your walking rhythm and then count the steps you take from the beginning of the length until one of your feet crosses the “finish” line. Do this three or four times, and then find the average of all those trials. For example: Trial 1 --- 13 steps Trial 2 --- 14 steps Trial 3 --- 11 steps Trial 4 --- 13 steps Add the total steps and divide by 4. In this case, 13 + 14 + 11 + 13 = 51. Divide 51 by 4 and you get 12.7, which can be rounded up to 13. Next, divide the 20 feet by the 13 steps and the result is 1.5 feet. So, this person’s stride length is 18 inches, or 1.5 feet. To determine how many steps it would take to cover one mile, divide 5280 by the stride length of 1.5 (you want to use feet for both, not feet for one and inches for the other). The result is that it takes 3520 steps for this person to walk one mile. Once you know your stride length, use the chart on the following website to determine how many steps you take to walk a mile: http://www.walk4life.com/customerservice/forms_stepstomiles.aspx Steps to Miles Conversion Table Stride (in feet/inches) FT/Mile Steps/Mile 1 5280 5280 1.1 5280 4874 1.2 5280 4526 1.3 5280 4224 1.4 5280 3960 1.5 5280 3727 1.6 5280 3520 1.7 5280 3335 1.8 5280 3168 1.9 5280 3017 1.10 5280 2880 1.11 5280 2755 2 5280 2640 2.1 5280 2534 2.2 5280 2437 2.3 5280 2347 2.4 5280 2263 2.5 5280 2185 2.6 5280 2112 2.7 5280 2044 2.8 5280 1980 2.9 5280 1920 2.10 5280 1864 2.11 5280 1810 3 5280 1760 3.1 5280 1712 3.2 5280 1667 3.3 5280 1625 3.4 5280 1584 3.5 5280 1545 3.6 5280 1508 3.7 5280 1473 3.8 5280 1440 3.9 5280 1408 3.10 5280 1377 3.11 5280 1348 4 5280 1320 4.1 5280 1293 4.2 5280 1267 4.3 5280 1242 4.4 5280 1218 4.5 5280 1195 4.6 5280 1173 4.7 5280 1152 4.8 5280 1131 4.9 5280 4.10 5280 1112 1092 4.11 5280 1074 5 5280 1056 5.1 5280 1039 5.2 5280 1022 5.3 5280 1006 5.4 5280 990 5.5 5280 975 5.6 5280 960 5.7 5280 946 5.8 5280 932 5.9 5280 918 5.10 5280 905 5.11 5280 892 6 5280 880 6.1 5280 868 6.2 5280 865 6.3 5280 845 6.4 5280 834 6.5 5280 823 6.6 5280 812 6.7 5280 802 6.8 5280 792 6.9 5280 782 6.10 5280 773 6.11 5280 763 7 5280 754
