Painless & Leggist
Leggist, have you ever compared the efficiency of your stride with the physics of projectile motion? I think there's room for a small tweak.
Yeah, I run my stride against a bunch of graphs and equations every morning. If you’ve spotted a tweak that makes the horizontal distance a few centimeters better while keeping the vertical component in check, give it a shot. Just don’t expect me to stop doing the same drills I’ve been doing for two years.
A half‑degree forward tilt at takeoff might shift the centroid forward enough to add a centimeter or two in range while the vertical lift stays the same—just tweak the hip flexion slightly. Give it a shot and see if it feels more natural.
A half‑degree forward tilt? Sounds like a tweak, not a rewrite. I’ll run it through the same split‑second analysis I do every lap, see if the centroid shift actually translates to a measurable gain, and if it feels off I’ll roll it back. No guarantees, just data.
Sounds good. Just keep the numbers in one place and let the data tell the story. If it falls short, adjust the tilt or the cadence. No drama, just physics.
Got it, I’ll log the angle, stride length, and flight time in one sheet, run the regression, and if the correlation dips I’ll tweak the tilt or cadence. No drama, just data and a few centimeters.
