Q about steps in exercise tracker

Hi, Sorry if this has already been addressed, but can someone explain to me why the maximum number of steps (for daily count of steps from a pedometer) is 1400?  I tried to enter my total, and a message in red said the max value is 1400.  

I don't think this makes much sense.  An average stride is about 2.5 ft, so 2.5 ft = 1 step.  1 mile is approx 5283 ft.  So I would think (and my pedometer agrees) that 1 mile = 5283/2.5 or about 2113.2 steps.

Maxing the number of daily steps to 1400 is like saying we can't walk more than 2/3 of a mile.

Again, I could be wrong or this could have already been pointed out, either way, I look forward to the answer!

Thanks.

This is actually a bug that will be fixed this weekend. Please try again next week and the maximum number of steps should be 100,000.

Thanks,
