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 steps in 2 miles walk?
Your 30 minutes of formal exercise on the treadmill add up to about two miles, or around 4,000 steps. (Though the number of steps can vary depending on your stride and speed, one mile tends to be about 2,000 steps). So, you've got 6,000 more steps to go, or about another two to three miles.
How do you convert steps into miles?
To convert steps to miles:
- Determine the stride length - measure it or assume 2.2 ft if you're female and 2.5 ft if you're male.
- Multiply the stride length by the number of steps, e.g.: 2.2 ft × 1,000 = 2,200 ft .
- Convert the result to miles: 2,200 ft / 5,280 ≈ 0.42 mi .
