Stride Ride and Run Stronger

When you are out and about in your car, do you see joggers on the road way? I often do. Have you noticed how some people run? I always do.

I have noticed some people have very busy or what I call "noisy" running styles. In other words, they waste a lot of energy by having a terrible style or stride. Their arms are all over the place, their torso waddles from side to side. It looks like they are having a hard time running on a flat surface.

If you watch the professional runners, you will notice most share the same basic kind of efficient stride. Running long distance is all about proper stride and energy efficiency. A proper stride will give you greater efficiency and you will have energy to run farther and longer.

Check out the video below to see what the proper stride should look like.




Now next time you go out running, make sure you make these stride adjustments and what your distance increase while the effort to go that distance seem less than the way you ran shorter distances before.

Keep on running.
