CALCULATING STRIDE LENGTH
In order to display accurate DISTANCE travelled,
you need to measure and input your stride
length in inches.
How to calculate your Stride Length:
To properly calculate your stride length, measure a
predetermined distance in feet. Once completed,
either walk or run that distance, counting each step
you take, and divide your predetermined distance
in feet by the number of steps. Convert this number
into inches.
Example:
If your predetermined distance is 15 feet and you
had walked or ran 10 steps in that distance, then
the stride length is 1½ feet = 18 inches.
Formula:
Conversion:
1 foot = 12 inches
distance travelled (in feet)
# of steps taken
= stride length (in feet)
