Strides are runs that last about 20 seconds each and are run at a subjective feeling that approximates R-pace running. Take 30-60 seconds rest between strides, or enough time to feel light and quick on each stride. Strides are not meant to be "sprints."
Wow, really groundbreaking stuff, here.

It's good info to be fair. Have some respect its what this forum is for.

I try to run my strides at close to all out. How much effort should you be running them?
we should always reserve the truly groundbreaking information for kids, right?
Or is it rather that case that kids should first be taught the basics?
20 seconds seems a bit long for strides.
How about 10-15 seconds?

Right. For all the kids who know what "R pace" means, but have never heard of strides.

Most high schoolers can infer that "R" when coupled with the word "pace" means race, therefore "R pace" means "race pace". Not difficult stuff. However most high schoolers don't know that you aren't supposed to do your strides all out, I know this firsthand because I'm not some old guy generalizing about high schoolers, I'm a freshman in college. The guys on my high school team always sprinted their strides, so it will probably do somebody some good to read this.
In summary:
OP was right, you were wrong.

They would infer incorrectly, then, as R pace is repetition pace.
You realize that race pace for a 5K runner would be way too slow for strides, right? If they actually inferred that R pace is race pace, as you suggest, then they'd be doing their strides at 5-6 minute mile pace.
So all reps are done at the same pace?

So your strides should be at about 22.5 seconds per 100 meter rep? Thanks. Will begin those tomorrow.
wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
can be up to 35sec long
progressively faster from one stride to the next
work a range of speeds
progress to faster speeds over time also
take as much rest as you want
sometimes do even speed, sometimes accelerate
after a few months, doing some sprinting is DESIRABLE (never go faster than "R pace"? good luck kicking)
Everybody sucks in this thread. The OP didn't define what "R-pace" means, nor did really good stuff define what repetition pace means. Furthermore, if I'm a kid reading this, it doesn't motivate me at all, because it doesn't tell me what it's going to help me gain. And how many of these should I do? The list of questions goes on and on. I really hope the OP is not a teacher.
The simplest of things becomes rocket science here on LR. Amazing.

Right right right! ^^^
Damn. I goofed on my post. R pace means repetition pace not race pace. I probably shouldn't try to argue with people on the internet about silly things.

And what the heck is repetition pace?

Repitition pace is the pace you do each repetition at. Like duh.
Is it ok if I tag along and stay a polite 5 meters behind another stranger while doing strides?

Which reps? The stride reps? The pace I do 5k reps at?
