Stride Length Definition

How far you travel with each individual step.

When it helps

Almost never for a beginner.

When it doesn't

For a beginner, basically always. It changes on its own and is not something to chase.

The common myth

The myth: a longer stride makes you faster. The reality: reaching for a longer stride usually means over-striding and a quicker route to injury.
