How many steps in a mile?

posted in The Daily Diet by Trisha

So I’ve been walking now for four days and just this morning started wondering “how far am I walking”? My stride is pretty much in line with the average (2.5 feet per stride, according to The Walking Site) and I’ve been hitting pretty close to 3,000 steps (according to my step-o-meter that came with my Cinch Plan Starter Kit, so that calculates to 1.5 miles. This falls right in line with what I’m pretty sure my pace is (about 3mph) and the route I’ve been walking takes me just about 30 minutes. Every morning I’ve been saying to myself “I should get in my car and drive it to see what the odometer says”, but when I get back home I grab a cup of coffee and check my email, and maybe answer the phone or an IM, and before I know it I’ve completely forgotten to check in against my odometer. Did I mention I am somewhat ADD? No of course not - I forgot to. SO I guess I just have to trust the math. It sounds good to me.
