Of course he increased his time. The longer your stride the ground your feet are off the ground. The longer stride was more than canceled by the longer time in the air.
Every hurdlers knows you must the feet on the ground instantaneously after each hurdler, or else you're gonna get smoked.
...What?
The troll meant this:
The longer your stride, the longer your feet are off the ground.
Learning to read troll is not hard. You just have to read between the lines. It's a skill brother.

lol, this guy is full of shit... a single frame is representative of Ritz's stride for thew hole marathon?
1. This guy is a real joker. "Easily run below 2hrs."
Right now, no-one can run under 2hrs, let alone easily, and certainly not Ritz.
2.
Not only is a single still not representative of Ritz's stride for the whole marathon, but a single still is not accurately representative of ritz's stride for any part of the marathon.
Low res photography, no compensation for parallax error or angles that are not perfectly perpendicular to Rits at the precise moment of capture. It means nothing to put values like 25 or 16 degrees on anything ritz is doing. Furthermore, even with hi-res photography, it can still be very difficult to tell the exact moment of contact for the measuring of the toe lift angle.
Oh yeah
and
there's this
3. The massive increase in stride would require and corrospondingly large increase in energy requirements... a simple unsustainable increase in energy requirements.
This guy is such an asshat.
not to mention, the extra pounding your legs would take. smells like a recipe for a short racing career.
If only Bob Prichard and Marshall Burt could pursuade Kip Litton to let them coach him... he could run a sub 2-hour marathon in every state (chip time, of course)
doesn't your leg have to sweep all the angles between 0 and your max? how do we know he's fully extended at the time the picture was taken? not to mention the whole "it not mattering" thing

On the subject of joking we can all also have a laugh on the runnersworld piece two years ago of what people would have to be like in order to run a sub one hour marathon:

No genitals to stay focused, brilliant!

What? Bambi wasn't a great hurdler? ;-)
From 6:00 minutes on, it looks more like 2 old guys making a porno. Check out 6:08 and 7:05.....creepy.

That's getting there. To further drive home the practical value of this groundbreaking research, they need to play Yakety Sax during the entire narrative.

The concepts are generally completely sensical. Whether or not you all want to buy waht the guy is selling is inconsequential. I agree that you cannot take one shot of Ritz at mile x and compare it to Sammy at mile y, or whomoever else was in the video at mile z. Doesn't work that way to prove the point. But generally speaking, the proposed biomechanics do make sense, given all other systems are equal.
Did you even watch his example about the gains from changes in "stride angle". It is based on both feet touching the ground at the same time. I don't see any quantifiable evidence of anything other than this guy being creepy and liking flexible men.

Yeah, but Malmo, how cool is that footage of the burning brakes at 3:05...? Give Bob some credit.

Isn't that the same video with some text added at the end? I want one that plays Yakety Sax as background music while the narrator is delivering his spiel about altering some physical characteristics without affecting any others and without requiring additional energy output.
For variety, maybe they could dub in some kind of "Wokka Wokka Wow Wow" porn groove to the stretching/groping/probing scenes.
The science is irrefutable, though. It's similar to this line of iron-clad logic: All we have to do is get a runner to increase his stride length to 7 feet and bump stride frequency up to 200 steps per minute for the marathon distance, and we'll have ourselves a sub-1:27 marathoner. Quite simple really!

I missed the burning brakes. The runner limping in pain had me in stitches.
Wasn't me brother. Just because someone uses "brother" doesn mean that person is me.

"By eliminating his toe lift, reducing his overstride and increasing his stride angle, Ritz could easily run New York in under two hours."
It's just so stupid I have to think this is either a joke or lame attempt to gain page views. Either way, shame on FloTrack for going to press with something so poor.

well played.
On a side note, why does i seem like every dodgy internet "get-rich-quick-while losing-300-pounds-a-day-in-the-Nigerian-stock-market-with rockHARD ABS!!!!" - site seems to use same crappy layout and bolded font. Is there some 38 year-old guy living in his mom's basement that makes every one of these sites?
Why are you even watching them?

The logic of these JV clowns is on a par with that of somebody who would use Zeno's "Achilles and tortoise" paradox to predict the outcome of a handicapped race.
