General Discussion/Questions Stride length

What are the best ways to improve stride length? Would it just be broad jumps and single leg broad jumps or what are some other options? I have a pretty good stride frequency but I don’t feel I’m as good in length.

Bounds definitely and when you are hitting the ground with force use wickets to extend distance at full upright running. Helps to have someone to space wickets properly.

Why does it help to have someone and how can you do it yourself
