Walking is a great way to stay fit and active, but have you ever wondered just how far you've walked after taking a certain number of steps? With 8,450 steps, you've covered an impressive distance! To be more precise, this number of steps equates to roughly 4 miles.
How is this calculation made, you may ask? The answer lies in the average stride length of a person. Your stride length is the distance between the heel of one foot and the heel of the other foot as you take a step. Typically, this distance varies based on your height, with taller people having longer stride lengths.
On average, a person's stride length is roughly 2.5 feet or 30 inches. However, this can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and physical condition. To calculate how many steps are in a mile, we need to divide the number of feet in a mile (5,280) by the average stride length. This gives us roughly 2,112 steps per mile. From there, we can calculate that 8,450 steps are equivalent to approximately 4 miles.
