How to do Striders Exercises Before Running

Hi I'm Robert Rogers and I'm Mike Ballosonie and on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to talk about extending your stride a little bit. A basic practice you can do to help your stride extend. Stride is a over i step that you take. It should be slightly longer and feel a little uncomfortable then your normal stride. As you see here Mike regular stride is a little shorter compare to this stride. Go ahead and do your regular stride Michael. A over stride. When you practice over striding it would help you stretch out your regular stride. How often must you over stride to help your stride out? A good practice is trying to over stride between telephone poles. Pick out a telephone pole and between those two (the telephone you choose and the next one)extend your stride. The next one after that do a regular stride. The next one after that do a extended stride again. It is a very basic practice you can do to overcome a better runner and a better strider.
