Stride Length Calculator

Stride Length Calculator

Pedometers and treadmills need a stride length, and the quickest estimate comes from your height. Enter your height and choose walking or running, and this calculator returns your step length, your full stride length, and how many steps you take per kilometre. Use it to set a fitness tracker, convert a step count to distance, or check how cadence and stride combine at your usual pace.

Step length is the distance from one foot strike to the next; stride length is two steps (one full cycle). These are estimated from height: walking step ≈ height × 0.414, running step ≈ height × 0.65. Real stride varies with speed, leg length and fitness, so treat this as a starting estimate — measure your own steps over a known distance for precise pedometer or treadmill settings.
