Stride Length

Correct Stride Length is dened from the tip

measure the correct average stride length,
divide the total distance of ten steps you’ve

walked or run by the number of steps (10).

Calculate your stride length in the following
way:
You walk 30 feet (total distance) / 10
(number of steps) = 3 feet x 12 inches =
36 inches.

US-8

You need to measure the stride length for
both walking and running. To measure the
stride length for running, it is recommended
to take more steps (approx. 50 steps) to get

a more accurate stride length.
