A just learned from a friend that a great way to reduce your time without lengthening your strides is to increase how many strides you do. You can go to the stride length of a jog, but at a much faster pace. The aim is to do at least 180 strides per minute, in order to maximize efficiency.
What are the benefits of this? Shorter strides means less pressure on the legs, which means you can last longer. Additionally, it costs less energy to lift your legs, as your strides are not that long, so you can maintain a moderate heart rate while going faster.
