10k for a hamster will be way more than 10k steps too!

  To be fair, root comment only says "mice will run 10k a day" but it isn't 100% clear what that 10K actually refers to, could be steps, could be meters.

    In the running context, a 10K means 10 kilometres.

      That's awfully European of you, what if the mice are from the US?

        Means the same thing here.

        “I ran a 3.1mi this morning and I feel awful!” No, distance events are still referred in kilometers in the US.

        US runners also typically train for kilometer races at distances shorter than half marathon. I've even seen a few 50Ks.
