Measuring Stride Length

• Find an area where you can walk 10 steps in a straight line

• Place a mark on the ground and line the front of your foot up with the mark

• Take 10 normal steps

• Mark where the front of your foot ends on the last step

• Measure the distance between the two marks, divide this by

10 to determine your step length
