How the 18000 Steps Math Works
How stride ratios and height dimensions translate to overall walking/running distances.

Converting 18,000 steps to distance requires determining your average stride length (the distance between successive heel strikes of the same foot).

Step 1: Estimate Stride Length
Stride = Height × 0.414 (for average walking)
Example (175 cm person): 175 cm × 0.414 = 72.45 cm (0.7245 meters)
Step 2: Multiply by 18000 Steps
Distance = 18000 × 0.7245 meters = 13,041 meters
Distance = 13.04 Kilometers
