Thirsty (for knowledge) Thursday: Doing Strides

Elite runner Lauren Floris (with PRs all way faster than mine) recently posted this on Instagram talking about "strides." This might be no biggie to a lot of you, but I realized maybe 5 years ago that I had been doing strides wrong my whole life, and this post reminded me of that revelation.

I think all through my high school track and cross country "career," I was over-striding my strides. I took them to mean something like LONG strides, when they should be a bit more "snappy." I should have had faster legs - not "longer" legs. Just a good reminder!
