    i like strides on a gentle hill, less impact if you kinda tired

    I do strides. But at higher speed than you suggest in the video. Not all out, but pretty fast.

    I'll add relax and don't force anything. 4 x 80m is about right for me. Walk back slowly to recover.

    This is actually so helpful!! I literally never understood what strides were before.

    I adore strides! I love finishing a run with strides. It feels like flying!

    Added strides to my easy runs around April this year… now do them 2-3 times a week and have helped me maintain decent speed deep into marathon training 🫡 great stuff as always B&M 😊

    Also wanted to mention Marius Bakken argument that strides lower muscle tone and your legs feel snappy for your next workout or race

    I need to try this tomorrow!

    Surprisingly after long easy runs, I find strides help my body loosen up. My arthritic knees actually loosen up and feel better after strides then they do after the easy run.

    another option, shorter reps (10-15 secs) but a few more of them. Also, to mix it up, do them as mini fartleks in an easy run (e.g. after every mile, do a 15 second stride, then back to easy).

    When I started incorporating strides eight years into my marathon running, I took eight minutes off my half marathon PR.
