Methodology and assumptions

  • Start from step-derived distance using personalized stride assumptions.
  • Apply pace and weight context to derive time and calorie implications.
  • Surface equivalent outcomes in both imperial and metric units.

Assumptions

  • Results are estimates and may vary by gait, terrain, and sensor quality.
  • Pace defaults to moderate unless you choose another scenario.
  • Consistency over weeks is more meaningful than one-day outliers.
