Unable to Open Up Your Stride

Unable to Open Up Your Stride

There are two possible issues if you are unable to open up your stride:

  1. your mobility, or
  2. the way you land and carry over to the next stride.

If mobility is the issue, look at obvious problem areas. Are your hip flexors tight? Can you dorsiflex your ankle properly without discomfort? A few weeks of mobility drills for problem areas should increase your stride length. 

If your mobility is okay, assess the landing and carry over phase of your running.

Speed is often overlooked, but is a very important factor

Every human should be able to run a mile in 8 minutes with proper form.
