Stroke Count and Distance Per Stroke

Coaches often come from one of two schools of thought...
'Distance Per Stroke (Stroke Count) ' or 'Stroke Rate' being the most important factor in speed.
This biggest problem with this single-focus approach is that it's missing an important piece of
the puzzle. It ignores half of the speed equation which is Speed = Stroke Length x Stroke Rate.
Imagine someone giving you a bike and telling you that the fastest way to ride is at 200 rpm.
You'd need to shift down into a tiny gear and pedal like crazy. With each push of the pedal
you'd only be travelling a small distance. It doesn't make sense.
It's about finding the optimum distance per stroke and stroke rate that suits you.
In previous videos we've talked about stroke rate - now let's look at the importance of
distance per stroke and how to increase yours.
