How do you convert steps to kilometres?
The metric formula is the same idea as miles: km = steps × stride (m) ÷ 1,000. Your walking stride in metres is about your height in centimetres × 0.413 (women) or × 0.415 (men), divided by 100. For a 170 cm woman that is 0.70 m, so 10,000 steps ≈ 7.0 km.
Running strides are around 25% longer, so the same number of running steps covers more ground. If you know your exact stride, enter it in the custom stride field in centimetres for the most accurate number.
