Steps

  1. 1Stride = 170 cm × 0.415 = 0.71 m
  2. 2Distance = 8,000 × 0.71 ÷ 1000 = 5.64 km

💡 The "10,000 steps" target was a 1965 Japanese pedometer marketing slogan (万歩計), not science — Harvard research shows mortality benefit plateaus around 7,500 steps for older adults, and even 4,400 beats 2,700 significantly. Pace matters too: 100+ steps/min counts as moderate intensity. Cadence beats distance.
