Sage, I have great respect for you as a runner and a youtuber but your argument is crap.
First, how is stride rate a logical tip for anyone? Are we supposed to always be conscious of how many times our feet hit the ground? Do you really think that stride rate is determined by the mind and not our brains? The stride rate depends upon our velocity but the more significantly is the WAY in which we strike.
The "strike" sets up the rest of the body. If you heel strike, your arms are often carried across your body. Stride rate slows down and posture slouches forward. If your run "properly" or "naturally" (yes people there is one way to run) then your will run on your mid foot, basically underneath the ball of the foot. This will set up the rest of your body. You will be tall without having to "try" and be tall. Your momentum will all be forward without having to "try" to lean. And the 180 spm will take care of itself. All the tips that coaches think of as effective are ultimately sub conscious things that take care of themselves when the main part of the gait is taken care of-- the proper landing.
I can't stress enough how ignorant and stupid tips like "reduce ground contact time" and "improve stride rate" are. You have to give runner tangible terms that allow them to understand what they really need to be doing. You said it yourself that you don't want people to "overthink it". And I completely agree with you. People break the body down and give tips for each section when we should never be consciously thinking about specific parts of our bodies, we need to work as a whole. And the only way to do this is to run on your mid foot(balls of your feet basically), let your natural rhythm take over, and don't overthink it.
