Vertical Ratio Definition
Your bounce as a percentage of your stride length — a tidiness score for your running form.
When it helps
For the genuinely form-obsessed, not someone in their first year.
When it doesn't
In your first year. Consistent easy mileage improves economy far more than watching this.
