Approximating Height from Stride Length

When walking:

Measure from heel to heel.

Then use the formula:

height = w/0.86

When running (sprinting):                                        

Measure from heel to heel.

Then use the formula:

height = r/1.25

Note: These are by no means exact. Stride length can vary by how fast the person was going, what terrain they were traveling on, and a whole basketful of other factors. However, these numbers serve as useful guidelines. The best way to try to determine one’s height is to compare their strides side-by-side with someone else’s going at a similar speed.
