  13. The advice I have been following, gleaned from a combination of magazines,
  14. books, talks with physiologists, and guesswork, is:
  15.  
  16. Your optimum stride length = your natural stride length.  There is not
  17. much you can do to change it.
  18.  
  19. Increased speed comes from quicker turnover.  This is developed through
  20. speedwork (running intervals slightly faster than your intended race
  21. speed with recoveries between to allow you to keep it up.)
  22.  
  23. Endurance comes from going out and slogging miles.  Ain't no other way.
  24.  
  25. I hope this helps.
