The more efficient the stride, the faster the athlete. What’s holding your stride back? Your stride length is the distance covered from the time your foot hits the ground to the time it hits again on the same side, encompassing one complete gait cycle.

To find out if one of these issues is holding your stride back, find a physical therapist or chiropractor who specializes in running injuries and gait biomechanics.
