Strides: The Secret Speed Hack for Runners

Video Description

Most runners think they need more mileage to get faster — but they’re missing the simplest weapon: strides. These short accelerations improve form, boost turnover, and help you finish runs feeling fast, not flat. In this video, I break down exactly what strides are, why they work, when to do them, and how to use them safely, whether you’re a beginner or an ultra marathoner prepping for a huge race.
