Stride length at different speed

It would be great to add option to define stride lenghts at different speeds. For example I did calculations based on a treadmill and the results are:

 

5 km/h  .........  70 cm

8,5 km/h .......  84 cm

9,2 km/h .......  91 cm

10 km/h ........  98 cm

12 km/h ........  117 cm

 

so it is hard to define "running stride length" as it varies significantly with speed.

I agree. It would be awesome to have some kind of calibration option that would walk you through some speeds on a treadmill to correctly calibrate the tracker for you.

I would like to be able to manually adjust the step count because it regularly is not adding correctly. This week my step count was 49000 on Wednesday I've done three days since of over 10,000 steps and today Saturday my step count has gone down to 46000. It is not accurately adding my steps!
