Steps per mile by stride

If you know your stride length, this is the more accurate route. Measure it by walking ten normal steps, measuring the total distance, and dividing by ten.

Heights are estimated from the stride, using the rule that walking stride is roughly 41 percent of height. Treat them as a guide rather than a measurement.
