Stride length estimates are approximate - The short, average, and tall classifications are general estimates and may not match your exact stride length
Individual variation is significant - Your actual stride length depends on your height, leg length, walking/running style, and personal gait
Walking vs running differs by person - The running stride multipliers are averages; some people have longer or shorter running strides relative to their walking stride
Terrain affects stride length - Uphill, downhill, or uneven surfaces will change your natural stride length from these flat-ground estimates
For maximum accuracy, measure your own stride - Walk or run a known distance (like 100 meters) while counting steps, then calculate your personal stride length
Fitness tracker comparison - Results may differ slightly from fitness trackers or pedometers, which often use different algorithms and calibrations
Step counting accuracy varies - The calculator assumes accurate step counting, but phone sensors and fitness devices can have varying precision
Speed affects stride length - Walking slowly vs briskly, or jogging vs sprinting, will change your stride length even within the same activity type
