    So I was recently given a fitbit, and in looking into my concern about accuracy, I found that you can calculate your own stride length. You just walk a known distance and then divide that by the number of steps you took to find out the length of each step. I suppose you could do that and then use the result and the number of steps you take each day to calculate your distance. Then you could estimate a speed and enter it here as walking.

    Seems like there's an easier way I'm overlooking, but that's all I can think of right now.
