Calories use the Compendium's 3.8 MET for walking at this pace. Stride changes with speed, hills and fatigue, so measure it at the pace you walk.

Show the work

  1. Stride in meters

    m = in × 0.0254

    30 × 0.0254 = 0.762 m

  2. Distance = steps × stride

    d = steps × stride

    10,000 × 0.762 = 7,620 m

  3. In miles, to 2 decimals

    mi = m ÷ 1,609.344

    7,620 ÷ 1,609.344 = 4.73 miles

How it works

Distance = steps × stride length; time = distance ÷ walking speed; calories = walking MET × weight (kg) × hours (2024 Adult Compendium: 3.0 MET at 2.5 mph, 3.8 at 2.8–3.4 mph, 4.8 at 3.5–3.9 mph, 5.5 at 4.0–4.4 mph)
