Strides are short bursts of fast but controlled running, typically between 50 and 150 meters. They’re used for warming up, building speed, or improving running efficiency.
Strides are not all-out sprints; the goal is to practice good form and coordination. Runners often incorporate strides after easy runs or before workouts to activate the nervous system. They help improve turnover, reinforce biomechanics, and reduce injury risk by preparing the body for faster running.
