If not, you might be leaving free speed on the table. In this video, I break down exactly what striders are, how to do them properly, and why they’re one of the most effective (and most underrated) tools for improving running speed — without adding extra fatigue. We cover: • What a strider actually is (and what it’s not) • The difference between striders and sprinting • How to perform them correctly (acceleration, hold, deceleration) • Why striders improve neuromuscular efficiency • How they help you recruit more power without heavy fatigue • How beginners and advanced runners should use them • When to add striders into your week • How many to do and how to progress Striders are short accelerations at 80–95% effort that help train your body to run faster efficiently — without the lactate buildup or stress of full speed workouts. They’re perfect for: • Beginner runners adding speed work • Intermediate runners stuck at a plateau • Advanced runners wanting more efficient speed • Warming up before races • Improving stride length and cadence • Sneaking in form work without formal drills If you want a simple way to improve speed without burnout, this is it. 🤘🏻 TRAIN WITH ME HERE → https://www.thelyssmethod.com/programs 🤘🏻 FOLLOW ME ON IG → https://www.instagram.com/doclyssfitness/ 🤘🏻 LEARN MORE + FREE RESOURCES → https://doclyssfitness.com/","meta_description":"🤘🏻 GRAB MY FREE ZONES CALCULATOR → https://doc-lyss-fitness.myflodesk.com/zones-help-yt This video is a podcast version of a full YouTube video!
