On average there are 6,600 steps walking 5k, however this drops down to around 4,700 when running 5k.
The number of steps in a 5k varies based on several factors such as your height and speed. See how many steps in a mile calculator to get your own personal estimate of 5k steps, based on your height and speed.
Below are more details and examples of steps in 5k.
How long is 5k?
5K is 5,000 Meters, or http://c9d75o88s1kx0pb9har4mj0p54.hop.clickbank.net miles.
Running round an olympic track it would take you http://c9d75o88s1kx0pb9har4mj0p54.hop.clickbank.net circuits to complete 5k. If you were to walk it at a leisurely pace 5K will take around an hour.
Factors affecting number of steps in 5k
A number of different things affect how many steps you take in a 5k.
The two biggest factors are your height and walking / running speed.
The taller you are, the longer your stride length, and hence the fewer steps required to cover 5k. Additionally given the same walking speed and height, a man’s stride is slightly longer than a woman’s.
Even at the same height, women take a few more steps to walk 5k than men do.
As you move faster from walking into running and then the faster you run, the longer your stride length becomes. So again the faster you move, the fewer steps are required to cover 5k.
