HOW TO INCREASE STRIDE LENGTH FOR SPEED! FASTER RUNNING TECHNIQUE EXERCISES

[@craigtsmith6957]

Sage and Sandy - what I like about you both is that you are a) authentic and b) very nice people; and you can tell that you genuinely want to help people. (FYI Sage has taken the trouble to reply to 3 personal e-mails from me; one of them relating to a famous athelete who is trying to help former South African Comrades Athletes who are struggling to support themselves and their families. In this day and age many people flatter to deceive and are only interested in helping if there is an obvious upside for them - Sage and Sandy are not in this group.

After watching a video about increasing stride length I was able to lower my mile and and half run by 2 minutes! Good start~

You did this by just watching this video? 🤔

this is a real "how to", no BS, just straight to the honest points. thank you!

[@adamunruh2931]

This is one of the best running videos I have seen.

[@christineribone9351]

thank you. I know nothing about running, my speed sucks. I subscribed to learn about understand how it works.

[@BlackOrdinance]

Benn doing "strides" at the end of my jogs lately and it works. Also I been practicing/trying to figure out how running at 170+ SPM is effective and you only feel it if you practice it over and over again. The methods explained by you Sage, works. Thanks for motivating me to be a more efficient runner!

[@ajitthomas1651]

Knee drive does nothing for running efficiency. Simply pulling up your leg to your butt and simply bringing your knee forward to get your forefoot to strike under your centre of mass, is all that is needed.

This man knows his stuff! I learn a lot from you my friend

[@GrahamAldrich1975]

Perfect length of video too. 8 - 12mins seems perfect. If I see a vid is 25 or so minutes long I often don't even start watching it. Just my opinion. I'm sure others have their preferences too. Keep up the good work!

[@Iris-zr1rf]

This was definitely one of your best videos, Sage. I started applying it, and noticed without much extra effort my times slightly increased, and more importantly I noticed a lot less impact on my knees and quads.

[@Mad-Slick]

Nice timing. I was literally just googling this last night.

[@Saintzel]

Same!

[@klaasdeboer8106]

Okai, now I know how my love for sprinting improves my easy runs, I started running a couple of months ago after 10 years of nothing, I just love doing sprints at the speed I can make a couple ofrepetitions, I just did these sprints because of the thrill of moving fast on my bare feet, now I see that it is usefull for distance running.

[@cameronwscott]

Your videos are getting better and better! Thanks for being a great mentor! Keep it up! :)

[@muraterkocevic9743]

Another great practical advice how to improve - I am about to start implementation today. And the usual reminder that the results require long, hard & smart effort. This approach has been working for me during last 3 years... THANKS SAGE!

[@axlrosea675]

Great sage, one of your best videos. You rake up the most important essentials for speed apart from the speed workouts.

[@earlaverilla9250]

Loving your recent reels. This is good and helpful, but your reels are gold!

[@TheHonestRates]

First time i've heard anyone explain how to increase a cadence. good video, i'm enjoying the tips. thanks

[@razcohen5590]

Jason Van Mill this is not increasing cadence i.e stride rate, but stride length

[@TheHonestRates]

yes i understand. For me, i'm tall and have tried to increase my cadence...i'm usually around 155-160...when i run faster...say a sub 8 min mile, mile cadence increases pretty high (200) and i get worn out quickly. By picking up my speed and lengthening my stride, i'm able to not increase my cadence so much which is helping with endurance (about 180). Thanks for the video

[@Regnisab]

I really get a lot of practical information from your videos

[@TheMoonSeesMe]

Did you read my mind? Awesome topic!

[@richardarmstrong6743]

[@luissanz8364]

Great video thanks Sage

[@dekutubutara]

Hi Sage.. thx for the tips... i will face the 10k run on Sunday, 23 Sept 2018. Hope will increase my speed during the day. Now i am 51 minutes. Hopefully will be under 50 minutes... Hopefully still possible to increase speed within less than one week

[@jackrowlatt2788]

Would this be beneficial for someone who lacks track speed? I am much more competitive in xc and any longer distances but once we get down to the 1500 and 3000 I struggle to keep up with my teammates that do less mileage and have less experience

[@geneamigh6048]

I love watching your vedeos sage. I do learn a lot. I couple of half marathons here in there. but I feel I'm getting a little slower.

[@danielcommins1285]

Hi Sage, I'm surprised you didn't mention downhill running for improving stride length. Running down a slight downhill grade allows you to open your stride without taxing your cardio as much, meaning you can do more strides without going anaerobic. It's also pretty good for turnover too. What do you think?

[@lindatalla2945]

I have trouble with downhill running due to overstriding obviously causing pain. So, I slow down almost instantly while going downhill. I don't really know how to fix this. Now, your statement confuses even more on how to do it. Any video you may suggest? Or advice? I'm new to running but I'm fit, have plenty of stamina and great leg strength.

[@VAZZ8876]

quick question, im a british paratrooper just looking on getting a faster mile and a half time im currently getting around 9 minutes on the dot and aiming for around 8:30. I train constantly and can feel my cardio sky rocketing but im really only good at endurance workouts like constant up hills or long slow runs carrying weight. Is there any specific workouts i can do to increase my speed? i just feel like my body refuses to go faster.

[@ericmaldonado-avendano705]

Shane Vassallo Paleologo How's your stride rate? If it's lower than 170 then you need to improve it. Stride Rate separates the average- above average- elite runners. Slowly gradually increase your cadence(stride rate) and you'll start to see some huge results. Good luck

[@xandersmith9758]

What's a good stride length ????? 1.5 meters or 2 meters ??? Reference: I can comfortably run with a 1.35 meters stride length with a cadence of 187. (1:10 half marathoners)

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

Good for you. That is a great half-marathon time...

[@ericmaldonado-avendano705]

I would say that's a really good half marathon TIME. Yeah your cadence seems pretty high and your stride length seems pretty long. I would say increase stride length to 1.5 meters while maintaining your high 180 spm. Good luck

[@bigworldparty]

My turnover rate is in the recommended range, but I am running too slow (8:00 minute mile average). In fact my son who runs much faster (on school track team), told me I am not taking long enough steps. And running next to him, we are both around 5'10 height, and his stride is longer. (My legs spin like an egg beater compared to him.) Since I already have a fast turnover rate, the only way for me to go faster, is to increase stride, correct? But I had read in several places, that increasing stride length can lead to injury, because of harder pounding and leading leg acting more like a "brake". Maybe I read wrong? I will try the training approach mentioned in the video, because I feel like I have the potential to run much faster.

[@roustabout4fun]

I just got a Metronome earlier today and will test some of this out.....racing just a little above my workouts needs to change....hope to mix it up and test it out...should be fun./// IT works people....I put it to the test so beats me (pun intended) about the 4 thumbs down.///

I've watched your running form videos, among others on the topic of running form but still have form problems that don't seem to go away? Is there an email I could send to you of a video of me running, where you could possibly prescribe my issue? I have really been cracking down on form before the start of the season as one last desperate attempt to get faster, as I think my form is really holding me back. I would really appreciate it, thanks!

[@hebrews11vs5]

I also thought he was in a Clifton 3 there in the video. It was my first hoka and I was hooked. At this point you probably realized the 4 was not as good as the 3. The 5 I enjoyed a bit but once I tasted bondi there was no going back to the Clifton for me. Also tried that new carbon x on in the shop and trotted around... Now that shoe seems awesome. I am impressed with the light / fast yet cushioned feel. Pricy though

Hi Sage, I was wondering which of the Hoka models you've been using lately. I am looking to buy the new Bondis for Christmas for myself, and would love your input on what you might be using right now since you have direct experience with Hoka models. I'm also considering using a Hoka trail runner since I run through lots of dirt and rocks to get to my road trail which is asphalt. Is there a Hoka model which does well with both surfaces? Thanks man, you're the best.

[@elmalloc]

I have a lot of problem with high kickback, meaning I can't really do it, I wonder if it means I'm not transitioning from midstrike to toes.

[@TheLukejitsu]

Understood you asked this a while ago, but its something I could not figure out. I thought you had to kick your legs back and towards your butt, but it turns out it happens as a byproduct of a good knee drive. The reason the foot goes close to the butt, is because of the inertial force that the thigh and knee drive exerts on the lower leg. Its like a whip, the tail end snaps with force from the drive created at the whippers arm. So basically, if you want to improve kick back height, focus on lifting the knee and driving it forward, the hip will then create the inertial force to whip the leg back.
