Fast Running Podcast

Hello! It’s a Fast Friday episode of the Run Eat Repeat Podcast. Are you feeling fast today?

Today we’re talking about – Strides.

Why do strides in your running?

How do you do strides….

Here are some notes on how to do strides: (Check out the podcast for more explanation)

Notes on How to Run Strides

  • Plan to do strides once a week after an easy run.
  • Find a stretch of flat, safe path about 100 meters long.
  • Start off with a jog – Accelerate to sprinting at about 90% effort – Once you get there start to slow down to a stop.
  • Rest for a minute
  • Repeat.
  • Do about 4 strides after an easy run to start.

Go go gooooo!!!

Keep notes in your running log on how it went…. how you felt… how many you did… location… weather… etc.

Then, check in with your body the next day and add that to your running log too. Note if you feel sore, strong, tired, your legs feel heavy but your confidence is high, etc – anything that can impact your running and health.

      Thanks for the reminder. I have been preparing for a 10k in October and after some progress my time flattened. I will get back to strides on Saturday morning.

      I’ve actually never taken strides before. Thank you for teaching all about it.
