A stride is classified as the cycle of movement from the time one foot touches the ground to the time it touches again. The running stride refers to any characterist of movement or appearance having to do with the cycle of the legs. There are many different aspects to it; how fast or how long it is, whether the toes turn in or out, how high the heels move after leaving the ground, how high the knees drive up, whether it is symetrical or whether one leg acts differently, whether the landing is heavy or light, etc... Anything that happens in the process of getting a foot off the ground, through space, and onto the ground again is a characteristic of the stride.
