Good Bad & The Monkey
Well, if you take longer steps without changing speed, this probably means you're "bouncing" more, right?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Did you have to say that? I get it. I'm uncultivated.
Knowledge of inane facts is like the opposite of being cultured.
No. We were talking about calories.
RunningBehind, my only argument is with whether any of this has to do with caloric expenditure rates over distance. Not with oxygen consumption, stride efficiency, etc. And I am not arguing against Noakes and Daniels (who themselves argued against each other).
Imminent Catastrophe
Running ≠ Walking With walking, at least one foot is always on the ground. With running, at least one foot is always off the ground. These have different energy expenditure profiles.

You can take lots of small steps or fewer longer steps without appreciably changing your vertical lift.
Can you explain how this is possible? Don't you have to jump higher in order to jump further, assuming horizontal speed remains constant?
I didn't do the stride experiment, but it was hot as balls outside which is another thing that can effect running economy.
I was having a sidebar conversation with mikeymike, who seemed to indicate that running economy either did not exist or did not have a significant effect on running fitness, which is the discussion that the thread devolved into when you were gone.
Runners run
Self anointed title
It was pretty warm. Not quite the 96 degrees you imply, but pretty warm nonetheless. Where in TN are you?
The point is, calorie expenditure while running is a function of body weight, distance covered and individual intrinsic variation. ALL other factors, including efficiency, ambient temperature, windspeed, road grade, etc, are all insignificant next to the confidence interval around intrinsic variation.
