I am fairly new to MFP and am looking for some advice...

I am doing my first ever run in June and want to work up to 8kilometers, I have a pedometer so does anyone know how I calculate/average steps to distance easily.

Thanks for any help

    Depending on stride, there is about 2000 steps to a mile. Easiest way to find out if that is true for you: walk a measured mile and see how many steps it took you.
