Basic Running Tips : How to Lengthen Your Stride

[xmanbob2]

I was very impressed by your presentation. GOOD JOB.

If you go runningmiami online and you can see your video linked to my site.

I'd like to talk one day.

[chocolategrrl24]

He does not sound gay. If you didn't catch it, he has an accent. Stop being ignorant and rude and think about how you'd feel if he was making fun of you the way you're making fun of him.

[AwDeadlyPK]

Guys he is not gay. How would you like it if your voice sounded like that and someone made fun of you? Said your gay when your not, how would you like it? So think be for you say or do anything people. Plus he does have a life, why dont you guy get off youtube and get your own? Why dont you stop wacthing his videos if you have something bad to say, most likely you wacthing because you need help

-AwDeadlyPk

[RickJames1811]

good video. thanks

[MrKillPro]

You guys know he never said shit about being gay! You are probably offending him just mentioning it. I don't think hes gay a little feminine yes. By the way who cares that's not the point of this video plus if hes gay he would say it or exert it in a way you know how some gays have to prove something those gays I don't respect but I also don't want to hear about their desires either Its fucking annoying All I say is do your shit just don't do it around me!

[TheHoo1igan]

this makes me forget how to run :P

[IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY]

Why are all black men fast!!!??? all the slow ones are in prison! LOL!

[hopdashrun]

@IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY LOL! although i feel bad for laughing

[sll2316]

Ewww

[sll2316]

He should pull up his pants bc of his hips

[afragilesmile]

@deltapunk21 This is the most incoherent and interpretable paragraph I have ever attempted to read.

[GreatBlueKnight]

@afragilesmile LMFAO it's a funny paragraph,

this kid is mentally challenged.

[afragilesmile]

@GreatBlueKnight ahaha... it is. The stupidity when relaying his homophobia displays his or her overall incompetence as a human being.

[looker768]

Yes! I won the bet! The guy in the background couldn't run pass him before the end of the video!

[McCaskill89]

Anyone can talk this stuff lol

[Lmnopen929]

How to lengthen your stride without over striding: Take bigger steps. Done and done.

[runningpanda12]

You talk like a girl!!

[satolicious]

who cares if he's gay...what matters is that he is a runner like a lot of us. Race, sex, sexual orientation, and age do not matter to us runners. Or have you all forgotten that? c'mon guys, there's no better way to get along with one another than running. you know that.

[sashmuscle]

@satolicious the lisp is very distracting

why not just speak normally?

gay people do not have different vocal cords compared to straight yet they speak with the text book gay high pitch lisp...famuuulous

be yourself, no need to change ur voice patterns to let us know

[FredericaBimble]

@rstipper - Considering the year I ran the 2005 London Marathon, Paula Radcliffe finished in 2:17 which is curious since (a) she's "a girl" and (b) she can run, most likely, about twice as fast as YOU. So, what does that make you? Be careful with your "insults" because where some of us come from being called a "girl" is a compliment, indeed. How could it not be? Women and girls have SO MUCH going for them and what they can do. Your comment is repulsive all around. You're a kid.

[rstipper]

@FredericaBimble its funny how you say all those things about my comment being repulsive, i have the same opinion about yours. kid.

[myutubeaccess100]

Thank you! I love your videos.

[HugRunner]

Sorry but these instructions aren't very clear. You said you were gonna teach how to lengthen the stride without overstride, then you show and say "I lengthened my stride without overstriding". Then you explain that you have to lift the knee up more, but not overstride. And this mixed with some acceleration during your run. I think most people have no idea of what to do to replicate this after seeing this video.

[Bookstop1337]

@HugRunner

He just means push off with more force so you accelerate your leg and it carries farther, rather than reaching out wayyyy in front of you to artificially get that extra few inches of stride length.

[HugRunner]

@Bookstop1337 Hmm, ok but I don't really see how that is a technique. I mean to do that, for longer period of time, you would get extremely sore in the legs, unless you are extremely strong, in which case you probably already do utilize a longer and more vigorous stride. Also, for someone without this extra strength, more force also means you probably end up more bouncy (i.e., up and down more during the run) which isn't exactly efficient running. For shorter runs (sub 5K) this might work.

[Bookstop1337]

@HugRunner

Perhaps I explained it wrong. Instead of taking a normal jogging length stride, from 1 foot behind your body to one foot in front of your body, you just take a slightly longer stride overall, rather than reaching too far forward with your stride you add a few inches to the 'back' section and the 'forward' section of your stride. If you just 'dig' forward with your stride you would cause problems in your running.

[xc8759]

i wonder wat his mile time is

[audiofy]

@rstipper

Your out of shape young and not loved plz take your immature comments to your parents that abuse you, you red neck :) this guy knows what he's talking about.

[rstipper]

@audiofy alright, im for sure out of shape, 4.2 body fat by the way. and where did you start thinking im a redneck? rednecks dont run, they sit on the porch drink beer and watch nascar. he does know what hes talking about to a degree but he isnt that great.

[midnightxmuse]

@rstipper I think audiofy just means that your choice of language, rudeness, and obnoxious behavior made you seem like a stereotypical redneck.

[rstipper]

@midnightxmuse i still dont see how it looks like a redneck comment, i didnt include "yall, beer, nascar, shotguns, or hunting" anywhere in my comment... i was just raging

[goodboy2864]

:12

[ExtremelyRandomDude]

you dont want massive stride instead have faster stride rate

[jeffreyboy248]

@ExtremelyRandomDude but if you have longer strides with the same rate it will be better

[johnlvs2run]

STUPID ADVERTISEMENT

[BC721]

ghandi's been doing his pushups :D

[toby099]

very bad advice, a safe stride is small ones under the hips with a faster cadence.

long strides put a shitload of stress on the lower body

[joeyyowee]

@toby099 and that's basically what he said in the video.

[benjamin0520]

@toby099 HAHA! agree agree! he's heel sticking like a mo fo!

[benjamin0520]

@toby099 heel strike like a mo fo!

[grandtheft480]

ghandi?

[taylormcmullen5]

pointless

[bloodworksinc]

Judging a book by it's cover. How would you like it if someone's decides what kind of person you are just by reading what you type? Yeah, I know what I typed.

[TheRikke83]

the guy who appears in the end is understriding :)

[Glitterfaysss]

@TheRikke83 lol, understriding yes....but you don't know how far he's alrdy run...probably tired as fk :P

[TheRikke83]

@Glitterfaysss Hehe probably yes:) I admit, after an hour I am the biggest understrider in history myself...

greets

[TAsssAT]

take off the writings from the screen.

[0587dave]

im confused why there are so many he looks gay or sounds gay comments? have you never seen a gay male? and arent gay men allowed to run? so what if he is or isnt? if your not on youtube looking for a gay hookup and he isnt hitting on you then i dont see why it matters

[GiveandTike]

Put on a shirt.

[101XxCoLexX101]

so a big stride helps run faster?

[Ballerfella2007]

so basically higher knee length is the key to increasing stride to cover more distance??

[Runaholism]

It helps to increase stride length because you kick out farther; however, proper stretching is the foundation to any workout. :) I tried lifting my knees higher during my run, but I ended up landing awkwardly without good balance. Based on Katie Koski's recommendation, stretch first, warm up with 15-20 minute jog and then run stride workout (3-6 reps x 100m).

[McChanging2013]

Oh-eem-gee! lmao.

[gusto1978]

is this black dude white??? lol JUST BY THE WAY HE TALKS.

[bien080]

Think about this simple concept when you accelerate and the knee is "lifted higher" you actually have more clearance from the ground therefore you are able to generate more foce because you are working with this little thing called gravity which in turn increases your stride length naturally when increasing speed. The knee coming up higher is a byproduct of force production through the ground

[lamrof]

He is obviously gay. Why did he have to announce it so loudly. Girly voice, sissy movement, bare chest and a little bulge down there.  Put your shirt on so that we can take you seriously.

[1lovelysugar]

so what if he is gay let him be whateva he wants to be.. get a life

[natedaug1]

@1lovelysugar True.

[salg500]

@1lovelysugar Yeah true,

and to all you guys making fun of this guy cus of his "Gayness"

so what? hes probably in better shape than all of you!!!

[timtufuga]

Ignore the gay shirkers, haha

Your tips on stride length is interesting. I have been trying to incorporate some of your techniques, however, the higher knee length and extended stride length for 42km distance running tends to be rather taxing and it seems more efficient to shorten the stride for endurance efficiency and longevity. The point is of course is to maintain the km/h average speed for the 42km.

[Poesias360]

eww...

[MissyPurr34]

Does that apply to Girls with short calves and thighs :( ?

[enderthegreat]

i seriously doubt he's ever coached anyone that great to be making a video that pretty much teaches you 'how to run.'

[0587dave]

@enderthegreat you realize its an instructional video to help out beginners and its on youtube right? a lot of people want to run marathons or just get in better shape and get injured or lose motivation quick. this is just showing you tips on how to increase performance and increase results. you cant be that naive right? there are millions of instructional videos for beginners on every subject in the world taught by pros to beginners what is so shocking about this?

[tampabayrays23]

dam that black guy be eating his spinach

[xxcdemon08]

dont forget chicken and collagreens with some tastyass grape koolaid

[PossessedRat]

shut the hell up!!

[Entrapturing]

@tampabayrays23 The guy in the background needs to. :)

[runnaboi]

i hate these nobodys who try and give such lame advise about running. just get out and hurt urself, put the hard graph in and u'll take the rewards in due course.

[JossueBarcelona]

he looks like a retard

[Kavikrunner]

Lol he isnt a runner, any runner knows that having black socks, shoes, and shorts is never a great idea on a hot ass day :)

[6international1]

bet he could out run ya thou shadydizzle....

[shadydizzle]

he looks,runs,and sounds like a fag and he stands like one

[Sizzel101]

lol he sounds like hes  gay XD

[0587dave]

@Sizzel101 so? what is he is? gay men cant run?

[yogurt705]

Hey thats kezar stadium

[adamsblog85]

well for a start if you read the info on this video it refers to him being a fitness trainer not a runner. Perhaps then that could be the reason he isn't a runner??

[asianlonghornbeetle]

expert? he's not even a runner! look at his arms at + 0.25sec....don't listen to this cheerleader and don't over think. you'll get hurt. instead, do what feels natural. spend your energy on stride frequency (foot speed) and in using your arms to improve knee lift.

[jdris919]

How much you wanna bet he isn't even a runner. None of the "runners" on this expert village crap are real. Like the guy talking about cc training...wow.

[aaronbhoffman]

useless.

[JEwSLayer458]

he's exactly right.... pick up your knees....

[erchan2000]

I'm with you on this one ...

It works! It will naturally make you run faster and increase stride length.

I find that it also alleviates stress on your forefoot. Rather than push off harder, lift you legs higher just a tad.

[JEwSLayer458]

yeah... this is what i do all race and then your turn over should increase in the kick

[nige25]

he sounds gay

[b0mb3at3r]

lol listen to how he says stride

[CJFrasher]

useless running videos! all of them!

[popoyista03]

thanks for posting stuff like this, it would help a lot with people like me loosing wait.

[maybebabypls]

Fake

[jasonguyperson]
