The word mile comes from the Latin "mille passus" (a thousand paces) A pace is he distance between the placement of ones left or right foot and the next time it strikes the ground. The Roman mile was about 1,620 yards compared the modern mile's 1,760 yards.
However given the variability of strides and leg lengths 1000 paces per mile is a good value. There are therefore 5,000 paces in 5 miles or 10,000 individual footfalls.
