Starting with units based on the stride length of a human walking (Anglo-American pace = about 76 cm, German Schritt = 71-75 cm), units based on compound steps (ancient Chinese step and ancient Roman passus = about 148 cm, which is 1000 times the latter, the mille passuum, which later became the mile), there are also stadiums (plural stadia) and their multiples, the distance that can be walked in a day (ancient Germanic rasta), the distance that can be traveled by car in a day (ancient Indian yojana), and many other examples.
