A stride, also known as a pick-up or a strider, is a short acceleration during which you over-exaggerate your running form for a prescribed period of time.

What is a good stride rate for running?

An average runner will have a cadence of about 150 to 170 steps per minute. An elite runner counts about 180 steps per minute.

What does 100m strides mean?

Strides are also known as striders, stride-outs, or accelerations. They're about 100m accelerations where you start at a jog, build to about 95% of your max speed, and then gradually slow to a stop. One stride should take you about 20-30 seconds depending on your ability.
