Pro Tips for Stride Length
- Stride length varies by height, walking/running pace, and terrain — measure your own actual stride for more accurate distance estimates from step count.

Common Stride Length Mistakes to Avoid
- Using a walking stride length measurement to estimate running distance from step count, since running strides are typically meaningfully longer.
