Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wait 1km is 1000 steps sounds like some pretty big steps

Yeah, normal step lengths are around 60 - 80 cm depending on height and pace

EDIT: obviously injured/elderly people are much lower, and running is much higher, which might explain the distance if OP's watch thought he was running
