Oh princess, I couldn't ask for better proof you have no clue to what being a good runner really is...
Start with the basics would you, when you enter the curves of any race, like it or not, you slow down.

Which is hilarious given fact that faster bipedal athletes actually speed up in the curve portion of any race. They're called ostriches.
Maybe that explains why the world record for the women's 1,500m, 3K, and 10K events are held by women trained by a coach who studied deer and ostriches.
I trained race horses and studied ostriches... HMMMMMMM
Given the dung heap you call Jack Daniels demands every coach to drink his puke, nobody has the guts besides me to point out his worthless drivel has no merit.

Oh and for everyone who kisses his ass and promotes his 180 step per minute cadence, regardless to how cute their name is; be it POSE, ChiRunning, Evolution Running, or the garbage spewed by the current media darling Dan Lieberman, not only can't document what it improves, I'll gladly point out how stupid anyone is to follow it.

So in continuation, I' still waiting for anyone with an IQ higher than my shoe size to explain why no science backs up any of their barf you keep regurgitating here thinking its actually valid.
Oh wait... here's another one

And if that isn't enough, then please tell me why even fossil footprints of humans running 23,000 years ago also ran with a heel strike. Not to mention they were faster than Usain Bolt...

Need I continue?
Or does that explain why those with real medical degrees who supervise the training of Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Special Forces, and DELTA FORCE, agree with me. Or better yet, when was the last time SEAL Team 6 asked you for a training proposal????
Experts said the world is flat
Experts said that man would never fly
Experts said we'd never go to the moon
Name me one of those "experts"...
History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong

No.
Not at it at all.

Do you have anything on distance running?

The science of speed in any runner goes far beyond only two variables in measure, which is my point in this. First off, your body travels in a figure eight pattern, which is determined by far more than any such simple stride cadence formula. In my world, that's a nursery school level of understanding.
If you think a marathon runner runs 26.2 miles, to me that's what I call the barstool answer. Because I can walk into any sports bar in the world and get that answer. If anyone is a true scientist in the field of athletic training, they'd tell you the real distance once body displacement is factored in is more than 30 miles for the elite, and about 36 for you.

That's the science of running faster in one sentence; learning the biomechanic and perceptual skills necessary to reduce your physical displacement as close to 26.2 miles as one possibly can.
Do you measure your step width? Because it factors into improving speed as well as reducing risk of IT Band issues. But apparently nobody here has the ability to describe that relationship., .

Do you know your drift rate? Since its biologically impossible to run in a perfectly straight line, science says you're adding 7-12ft in distance every 20 seconds you run.
How do you train to reduce your drift rate?

And we haven't even gotten into strength differential yet. The human body is naturally stronger on one side of your body than the other. The question is which side determines your peak speed? You run with your weakest leg determining top speed.
Race horses as well as multiple other athletes utilize their stronger legs to reach top speed. And if you don't think the difference between the two techniques is significant, its the primary reason the top runners cross the finish line long before you ever do...
Which is why if your figure eight measurements can be reduced by 20%, then increasing your running speed by 20% is easy to do.
