@lollobojo edit: gordon was not a trail but a track and long distance runner.

@tripleMmagic 185-195 if you count both legs per minute. 85-95 if only one leg (which gives you 170-190, so a bit less for both legs). or at least that's my understanding. it has been stated by great runners (gordon pirie) that optimal leg turnover of running is around 180 steps per minute, or 90 by one leg (gordon was not a track and long distance runner). bottom line is, up your turnover by 10% at least on trails.

Does he mean 1 hundred 85 to 1 hundred 95? he said 85-95 striders per minute.

He is demonstrating both incorrect and correct running stride. The clips alternate between the tendency of street runners to 'over commit' to foot landing and his preferable cadence.

@MorganTrevor I thought it was a heel strike at first too. The issue is the way his toes are pointing up before his feet land. Looks like he probably self corrects to prevent heel strike.

I'd love to do the Western States 100 at some point in my life

That's not a heel strike. Look at 2:15 in the video; he's clearly landing on his forefoot.

@shadow, I'm sure he is fine with his heel strike after winning Badwater a couple times.
