I measured my running strides today while running along the water at an easy 8 minute pace over 30 minutes and was around +/- 48" per stride at this effort. I am right under 6' in height. I am wondering if I should try to increase my stride length or increase my cadence to run faster workouts? I think if I tried this stride length and pace for over an hour it wouldn't be easy anymore. How should I proceed as a beginner?
Can't really help unless you know your inseam length, shoe size, stride cadence, body weight and softness of the sand, time of day, bowel movements and favorite Mean Girls character, submitted to my office M-F 4-6 PM

Whoa, whoa! This a family place. No need to talk like that around here.
Stride length uphill repeats.
Turnover downhill repeats.
Does this place look like r/running?
Increasing flexibility in your hip flexors and hamstrings is one piece in the grand scheme of increasing stride length. Make sure not to over stride. Take a few minutes and watch this video but pay no mind to the marketing promo at the end. The bottom line is to increase your stride angle. Stretching, myofascial release and drills will help.

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
