How to Convert Steps to Miles?

Steps to calculate miles from steps include:

1) Determine the Stride Length

For Males:

Stride Length = Height (inches) x 0.415

For Females:

Stride Length = Height (inches) x 0.413

2) Multiply Stride Length & Steps Given

If you have stride length in inches, then use the following formula:

Miles = Steps × Step Length (Inches) / 63,360

If you have stride length in feet, use the formula below:

Miles = Steps × Step Length (Feet) / 5,280

Solved Example: (Steps to Miles Conversion)

Suppose that a male person is 5 feet and 3 inches (63 inches) tall and walked 8000 steps.

Step 1: Calculate Stride Length

Using the formula for males,

Stride Length = Height (inches) x 0.415

Stride Length = 63 x 0.415

Stride Length = 26.145 inches

Step 02: Calculate Miles

Miles = Steps × Step Length (Inches) / 63,360

Miles = 8000 × 26.145 / 63,360

Miles = 209,160 / 63,360

Miles = 3.3011

Considering an average of 2000 steps per mile, 20000 steps are equivalent to 8-10 miles. However, a more precise idea can be obtained through steps per mile calculator.

How many steps in a mile?

One mile is equivalent to 2000 steps walked.

Is stride length the same as step length?

No. stride length is the distance (feet or inches) from one initial point to the next initial point of the same foot. While step length is the distance between the heels of two opposite feet.

How many miles is 8000 steps?

If stride length is 2.5 feet, the covered miles for 8k steps are 4. In case the stride length is 2 feet, then the covered miles are reduced to only 3.3.

Can I use a steps to miles calculator for running and walking?

Yes, our calculator lets you select a standard walking/running pace and perform steps to miles conversion.

How many miles is 5,000 steps?

It depends on stride length and pace. However, considering the stride length to be 2.5 on overage, 5000 steps are equal to 2.5 miles
