Steps to Miles Definition

On average a human takes around 2500 steps to complete a mile while walking. (Running is a different story). However, this is just an average. To get a more accurate measure, height and gender both need to be taken into account. Taller people will need fewer steps since they have longer legs and women will need more steps because of a shorter gate.
