- Steps per kilometer come from height: a step of 41.4% of height, so a 5'9" walker covers about 73 cm a step and takes about 1,378 steps a kilometer.
- Steps = distance × steps per km: 15 × 1,378 ≈ 20,673 steps.
- Walking time at a moderate 3 mph (4.8 km/h): 3 hr 6 min.
Assumptions
- 15 km is 9.32 miles.
- Walking on flat ground at an ordinary pace. Running takes fewer, longer steps.
- Phone and watch step counts can differ from your real steps by a few percent.
