Sage and Sandy - what I like about you both is that you are a) authentic and b) very nice people; and you can tell that you genuinely want to help people. (FYI Sage has taken the trouble to reply to 3 personal e-mails from me; one of them relating to a famous athelete who is trying to help former South African Comrades Athletes who are struggling to support themselves and their families. In this day and age many people flatter to deceive and are only interested in helping if there is an obvious upside for them - Sage and Sandy are not in this group.

this is a real "how to", no BS, just straight to the honest points. thank you!

After watching a video about increasing stride length I was able to lower my mile and and half run by 2 minutes! Good start~

thank you. I know nothing about running, my speed sucks. I subscribed to learn about understand how it works.

Thanks Sage! I have been waiting on this exact video for a while. Great information and video quality

This is one of the best running videos I have seen.

This man knows his stuff! I learn a lot from you my friend

always very helpful. your advice is definitely transforming my overall growth.

Your videos are getting better and better! Thanks for being a great mentor! Keep it up! :)

Great video Sage

Brilliant video, so well put together and explained. 👍👍👍

Loving your recent reels. This is good and helpful, but your reels are gold!

Peace be to you! I am a new subscriber! I'm a 50 year old distance runner preparing for my 18th marathon. I hope to FINALLY break 3 hours, Lord willing! I'll use this information to increase my speed! Thanks!😊

Great video thanks Sage

Benn doing "strides" at the end of my jogs lately and it works. Also I been practicing/trying to figure out how running at 170+ SPM is effective and you only feel it if you practice it over and over again. The methods explained by you Sage, works. Thanks for motivating me to be a more efficient runner!

Great sage, one of your best videos. You rake up the most important essentials for speed apart from the speed workouts.

keep the vids coming sage

Thanks Sage, definitely appreciate the pro advice!

Another great practical advice how to improve - I am about to start implementation today. And the usual reminder that the results require long, hard & smart effort. This approach has been working for me during last 3 years... THANKS SAGE!

Thanks for sharing Sage, Cheers 🍺🍺

Love all the information

Always great advice, hit every key point!

thanks for the tips. Very useful

Great Stuff. Great Content.

As ever.... NICELY DONE!!!!!!!

Really good advice in this video. Thanks.

I really get a lot of practical information from your videos

Chronic video once again sage keep it up👍

Nice info. My running training routines make more sense now. Awesome!

Nice timing. I was literally just googling this last night.

I love watching your vedeos sage. I do learn a lot. I couple of half marathons here in there. but I feel I'm getting a little slower.

This was definitely one of your best videos, Sage. I started applying it, and noticed without much extra effort my times slightly increased, and more importantly I noticed a lot less impact on my knees and quads.

Thanks a lot. Super video with a great and easy understanding explanations. Keep the good work .

I enjoy your video's!!! They are really helping my running!

excellent video.

Thank you for these videos.

I love this channel

Fantastic video

Excellent video 👍🏻

this is so motivational. .. cant wait to do a video like this on my running vlog

excellent video thanks

Good one!

Awesome! Thanks!

Just what i was looking for. Awesome. Basically I think I need to do excercises to increase power and practice form at higher speeds.

dude you are just EPIC....thanks so much...

tnx again.i wil try

Very helpful!

Great video! :)

Okai, now I know how my love for sprinting improves my easy runs, I started running a couple of months ago after 10 years of nothing, I just love doing sprints at the speed I can make a couple ofrepetitions, I just did these sprints because of the thrill of moving fast on my bare feet, now I see that it is usefull for distance running.

u r the best man, ty

Thank you!

Did you read my mind? Awesome topic!

great video sage just what I needed. can u do a videos on high miles I always seem to cramp after 15 or 20 miles

Nice Sage!

Very helpful, thankyou

Perfect length of video too. 8 - 12mins seems perfect. If I see a vid is 25 or so minutes long I often don't even start watching it. Just my opinion. I'm sure others have their preferences too. Keep up the good work!

Thanks man

I found this session exceptionally helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Great video Sage, great focus on the major points and some cool drills here - cheers!

Nice info, thx.

Hi Sage.. thx for the tips... i will face the 10k run on Sunday, 23 Sept 2018. Hope will increase my speed during the day. Now i am 51 minutes. Hopefully will be under 50 minutes... Hopefully still possible to increase speed within less than one week

Thanks for posting this video, Sage! My cadence is already around 180, so I really need to work on my stride length in order to improve my pace. I've been struggling with it, but these tips seem helpful!

clear and concise. thank you

First time i've heard anyone explain how to increase a cadence. good video, i'm enjoying the tips. thanks

great video! really like that you did it outside and Incorporated graphics and examples

Thanks for the help sage! 👍🏼👍🏼

Another awesome video on form, great simple and efficient tips in my opinion!

Thanks a lot. You're the best! I will keep sharing your videos...

This video transcended me beyond that of the gods I’m now 7 gates rock lee

wow nice audio! nice quality improvement

This is brilliant. Strides is like a easy cheat to a better form! Wow.

Thank you cool

Very informative. Excellent video quality and liking the new audio quality with the new wireless mic :)

great video and very informative, thanks Sage!! :-)

Y’all should definitely try the atg split Squat it will help a lot even if you have good hip mobility

5:32 Thank you , coach Sage

Thanks!! Great video.

nice one! ;-)

Which glasses are you wearing in this video. Thanks for this video

Great info.. btw which shoe is that ?

Would this be beneficial for someone who lacks track speed? I am much more competitive in xc and any longer distances but once we get down to the 1500 and 3000 I struggle to keep up with my teammates that do less mileage and have less experience

To all the runners here, I believe in you. Enjoy the run everyday

Hi Sage, I was wondering which of the Hoka models you've been using lately. I am looking to buy the new Bondis for Christmas for myself, and would love your input on what you might be using right now since you have direct experience with Hoka models. I'm also considering using a Hoka trail runner since I run through lots of dirt and rocks to get to my road trail which is asphalt. Is there a Hoka model which does well with both surfaces? Thanks man, you're the best.

Six years on a still great advice

Thanks now i take 2 step layups from the 3pt line.

Best training video I've see to date. Note about forwarded leaning and nasty heel strike hit home here - Not doing that anymore! Warmest Regards

What about ankle mobility?

On my easy runs should I practice this technique or only for high exertion workouts

Hi Sage, I'm surprised you didn't mention downhill running for improving stride length. Running down a slight downhill grade allows you to open your stride without taxing your cardio as much, meaning you can do more strides without going anaerobic. It's also pretty good for turnover too. What do you think?

Hi Sage... To be honest I bought 3 pairs of Hoka one one shoes due to seeing you wearing those shoes... I bought clifton.. Bondi 5 and vanquish...and out of the 3 frankly I just feel suitable with the Vanquish..the other 2 are bad shoes for me. I wear adidas boost and found the line of boost ( ultra, pure and solar) are great for me in terms of responsiveness...cushioning and lightweight). Anyway I would like thank you tor helping me increasing my speed in running by improving the technique and form from your videos. Keep on sharing your knowledge Sage...

I just got a Metronome earlier today and will test some of this out.....racing just a little above my workouts needs to change....hope to mix it up and test it out...should be fun./// IT works people....I put it to the test so beats me (pun intended) about the 4 thumbs down.///

And is your microphone so clear when you are outside? That is awesome sound!

My turnover rate is in the recommended range, but I am running too slow (8:00 minute mile average). In fact my son who runs much faster (on school track team), told me I am not taking long enough steps. And running next to him, we are both around 5'10 height, and his stride is longer. (My legs spin like an egg beater compared to him.) Since I already have a fast turnover rate, the only way for me to go faster, is to increase stride, correct? But I had read in several places, that increasing stride length can lead to injury, because of harder pounding and leading leg acting more like a "brake". Maybe I read wrong? I will try the training approach mentioned in the video, because I feel like I have the potential to run much faster.

What shorts are you wearing in this vid?

Sage what are your shoes Clifton 3? What are your thoughts on the Clifton 4?Thank you!

How often should I practice theses exercises?

hmm seems that you are heel striking when you are tired?

stride is everything i guess,,,when i open up stride i sem to take less effort but covers the same distance i that right

My knee hurts if I increase my stride? Maybe I'm putting some of my weight on my heel

Hey Sage.Can i implement the sprints in my easy run or should i do this exercise separatly?
