    The main difference between long- and short-distance runners is the length of stride rather than the rate of stride. [52] [53] During running, the speed at which the runner moves may be calculated by multiplying the cadence (steps per minute) by the stride length. Running is often measured in terms of pace, [54] expressed in units of minutes ...

  8. Level and incline running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_and_Incline_Running

    When running at a constant speed, it has been found that stride frequency increases during incline vs. level running with a concomitant decrease in stride length. At a speed of 30 meters/second Gottschall and Kram noted an increase in stride frequency from 1.45±0.06 Hz to 1.51±0.07 Hz at an incline of 9 degrees (15.8%). [8]
