Question Steps Walked vs Miles Walked
Once in a while I use a pedometer, but something has me confused...if someone walks say 2000 steps - approx. a mile, are they actually covering ground of a mile? As in (assuming someone has an average stride) if you drove a car exactly 1 mile, would 2000 steps take you to around the same distance? TIA!

The first pedometer I had allowed me to measure my stride and enter it. Then the machine counted the miles according to that.

With my pedometer it says that it "automatically adjusts to your stride" - so how accurate is mine for steps vs miles?

I don't know. I suppose you could measure out a mile and see.

Yeah... I just use the meter on my jogging stroller. I had a pedometer back in the day but I don't remember how they work. If you plan on walking the same route everyday you can just set the trip timer on your car and measure out a mile
