Ever wondered how far you've walked when you hit that 5,000-step mark? Well, most people have an average stride length of 2.5 feet per step. If you have a different one, that's okay. To find out the distance in miles of your 5,000 steps, you can calculate it as we do for 2.5 feet per step below.
To start, we'll multiply the number of steps (5,000) by the assumed average stride length of 2.5 feet per step.
5,000 steps × 2.5 feet/step = Distance (feet)
Distance (feet) = 12,500 feet
Next, we'll convert the distance from feet to miles by dividing by the number of feet in a mile (5,280 feet).
Distance (feet) ÷ 5,280 = Distance (miles)
12,500 ÷ 5,280 ≈ 2.3686 miles
So, when you've taken 5,000 steps, you've covered approximately 2.3686 miles.
