I am a bit confused over this one, lets say it takes 90 min, is it the one who walks slower or the quickest one? Cos sometimes when I walk quick my steps are less with the same time as a friend who walks slower who get more steps within the same time, do you get more steps if you walk slower?  |

If you both walk for 90 minutes and your friend has longer stride than you, you will take more steps to cover the same distance.
He would be a giraffe and you would be a crocodile.... both walking for 90 mins and staying together but you are running like a short arse and the giraffe glides like a long legged glider would. |

Yes and it is confusing of who gets there first. |

"The person with the shortest stride. Speed doesn't come in to it does it. When we go for a walk we go at the same speed but I do more steps because I have a shorter stride than Mr N. "
I see and yes, that is interesting and as for me. I am the one taking long strides, so the friend takes two steps whilst I take 1 step for the 2 there, yet both nearly at the same speed.

Shag. If you are taking ONE STEP and your friend takes TWO STEPS you are not stepping at the same speed.
HE is stepping TWICE as fast as you and managing to cover the same distance in the same amount of time.
Think of it as a bike with BIG wheels and a bike with LITTLE wheels. The little wheels turn more times but reach the same place at the same time as the big bike.
Anyone remember the Father Ted sketch with the cows ? |

Aww Shag you are lovely. |

Have you ever seen a Croc run. Those things can move, easily out sprint a human over a short distance. So even little short arses can catch you. That's what I always remember from now on |

I read it as 'so the friend takes two steps whilst I take 1 step for the 2 there, yet both nearly 'TRAVELLING' at the same speed' just meaning the friends was squeezing in more steps per metre |

Yes but with different strides but still holding the same speed. |

Yes that is a good way of seeing to as, that means that I have to walk longer to get the same amount of steps that the friend does, that means we will finish in a way at different times. |

I take small steps so would reach it quicker than someone who takes big strides over the same amount of time. |

OK.
You and you're friend are eating a pizza. You have half each.
You both take the exact same time to eat it but you take big bites and chew slowly and your friend takes tiny little bites but chews quickly.
Who took more bites? |

That's exactly what I said but I just guess it needed someone else to clarify it for it to be intelligible.

I've seen them run. They can't outsprint an average human. In fact they won't pursue you for long if ever. They are creatures of stealth. Twisting and grabbing they do with high speed....... running not so much and they don't cover much distance. |

Why be concerned with steps which are an arbitrary approximation of distance covered
Also be distinct between
Cadence steps per second
And speed m per second
The two do NOT straight line correlate
Generally as ones cadence increases so does speed
Thus for an individual comparing themselves to themselves the quicker their cadence the quicker the speed and thus more steps in a time frame
Ironically less steps per 500 m
Because as we note , stride length increases with cadence increase
However the transition from walk to run like changing a gear will slow the cadence initially lengthen the stride significantly and increase speed
So for a person comparing themselves
One will always produce more steps walking with a higher cadence and faster in a set time
For distance however the higher speed will most likely produce less steps per km
The transition from walk to run should produce a lower cadence and longer stride
At that point only it will produce more steps as one walks than the initial run speed however as the run pace increases so will the cadence and the steps per second
Comparing to individuals is poor for this question do we know if their step measuring is calibrated and measured equally ?
Also in your op with reference to "speed" I feel you dip in and out of referring to distance/time speed steps per m stride length and steps per second cadence thus leading to great ambiguity regarding your meaning x
Answer to your question as I feel intended
Shag " will I produce more steps in one hour if my walking speed m per second increases "
Yes shag you will
If you increase from 1 m per second to 1.5 your cadence will alter from an approximate 1.3 steps a second to 1.4
However if you transition to a run you may find they dip briefly
Obviously for most fitness savvy people steps are not a serious metric that can be objectively compared between humans
Steps can be a useful personal metric to approximately compare an individual's movement during a day ,beyond that no use or objective data should be derived from the metric
As for crocs
Saw one launch at David attenborough . Looked frightening but not chase given. They are an ambush preditor
However as they move their legs faster they wwould produce more steps  |

I am not and yes I find it interesting as you after the walk compare how many steps you did and it is different, sometimes by 1000 steps. |
