How to Convert 13,000 Steps to Kilometers

Your step count translates to distance based on your stride length—the average distance from heel to heel when walking. Here’s how to calculate it:

  1. Find your stride length:
    • The average stride length is about 0.76 meters (76 cm) for men and 0.67 meters (67 cm) for women.
    • For a quick estimate, divide your height (in cm) by 4.
  2. Use the formula:

Distance (km)=Steps×Stride Length (m)÷1000

  1. Example calculation:
    • If your stride is 0.76 m, then:13, ⁣000×0.76=9, ⁣880 meters (9.88 km)13,000×0.76=9,880 meters (9.88 km)
    • For a 0.67 m stride:13, ⁣000×0.67=8, ⁣710 meters (8.71 km)13,000×0.67=8,710 meters (8.71 km)
