Ground contact time always decreases as running pace increases. ????????♀️ ????????
One of the most under-appreciated performance-related running variables is ground contact time, or the amount of time your foot is in contact with the ground on each stride.
Ground contact time always decreases as running pace increases. Not all runners have the same ground contact times at the same speeds, and not every runner is able to reduce their ground contact time when trying to run faster. The fastest runners tend to have the shortest ground contact times. Training specifically to reduce your ground contact time is an effective way to improve your running.
