June posted a note
Has anyone tried to purposely shorten their stride (quicker turnover)? I heard that this is supposed to help prevent injuries but not sure if anyone has had success with it.

June I try to shorten my stride when my hamstring is acting up. For me, it takes concentration. It does make me feel as though I am running faster though. But, who knows if I am even doing it right!!

We trained this way during college...and we all had fewer injuries and faster times. Try it...also, think about lifting your knees just a bit less on flats. Save the strength for going up hills. then power up and over and all the way down the hills. that's where you can make up a ton of time!
