Stride length is the distance you cover with each full running cycle (one step with your left foot, one step with your right). Tracking it over time can help you understand your running efficiency and spot changes in your form when you're fatigued or pushing hard.

Tips for using stride length data
A sudden decrease in stride length during a run can be an early sign of fatigue
Comparing stride length across similar runs (same pace, same route) gives you the most useful picture of your consistency over time
Stride length naturally varies with speed - shorter at easy paces, longer when running fast. So always compare runs at similar effort levels
