How to run strides
- First, find a predictably flat surface (runway) that is long enough to run 30 seconds at speed (about 250 to 300 feet for most).
- If you’re running strides before a speed workout or race, make sure to warm up first with 3 to 5 minutes of walking and 5 to 10 minutes of easy-paced running.
- If you’re running strides at the end of an easy run, walk it out for a few minutes to bring your heart rate down and calm your breathing before you start the drill.
- If strides are new in your running regimen, start with a total of 4 and slowly build to 6 to 8 over time.
