958 Steps to Miles
Covering 958 steps in a day means covering close to 0.48 miles of ground. If a landmark helps more than a number, that's about a round trip out and back along the Santa Monica Pier. NHANES accelerometer data puts the average American at 8,818 steps a day. This step count comes out to about 11% of that.

958 Steps to Miles, By Height
The 2,000-steps-per-mile figure above is a flat average. Stride length actually scales with height, so the same 958 steps covers a different distance depending on how tall the walker is.
| Height | Distance |
|---|---|
| Short (~5'2") | 0.39 mi |
| Average (~5'7") | 0.42 mi |
| Tall (~6'2") | 0.46 mi |

Did You Know?
Even with all that scheduled treadmill time, astronauts still lose bone density in space. The impact forces from walking in microgravity are measurably lower than walking on Earth, which seems to be part of why exercise alone doesn't fully offset the loss.
One of the earliest known odometers, described by the Roman architect Vitruvius, was a gear-driven device mounted on a chariot wheel that dropped a pebble into a box every time it completed one mile, a mechanical ancestor of the step counter on your phone.
