Today I ran 10 miles, and did an experiment.
There's lots of stuff in the media at the moment about how many steps we should take a day, for good health. For example this article by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33154510
I have no idea how many steps I do, even when running. So I downloaded a pedometer onto my phone and set off.
16, 613 in 10 miles! Probably not that accurate, I was holding my phone in my hand, which won't be as accurate as if it was on my ankle, as I didn't run the 10 miles on my hands. Also, I noticed it said I'd run 11.6 miles, which I didn't, so it looks like it's overestimated things. But still, I'd say as a ballpark figure, that's still going to be at least 1,000 steps per mile.
Also, as a short legged person, my 16,613 steps might take more effort than for a long legged person! Ha!
