Estimate your running stride length to optimize your form and efficiency.
Estimated Stride Length:
0.98 m
Stride Length = (Speed × 16.667) / CadenceThe formula converts speed from km/h to meters per minute and divides by your steps per minute (cadence) to determine the average distance covered in each step.
Stride length is the distance covered between successive ground contacts of the same foot.
Stride Length (m) = (Speed in km/h / 0.06) / Cadence
Example: A runner maintaining 12.0 km/h with a cadence of 180 SPM.
What is a good running cadence?170-180 SPM is often cited as ideal for efficiency
How can I increase my stride length?Focus on power and hip flexibility rather than overstriding
Does speed affect stride length?Yes, as speed increases, both cadence and stride length typically increase
