Why Is Stride Length Such A Big Deal In Sprinting?

Stride length significantly impacts sprinting speed. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to increase your stride length. The world's fastest athletes distinguish themselves by having longer strides compared to their slower counterparts. But it's not because they actively try to lengthen each stride. It all comes down to force production. In this video, you'll gain insights into how top-tier sprinters achieve their impressive stride length. You'll also learn what not to do – avoid extending your stride by casting your foot outward or over-striding. Additionally, we'll cover essential measurements that enable you to determine your optimal stride length based on specific measurements of your leg length.
