In his CFTS, Charlie says about Ben: “The importance of reduced contact time is demonstrated through Ben Johnson’s career. From 1981 to 1988 his average stride length remained constant (46.6 strides per 100 metres) yet his time improved from 10.25 seconds to 9.79 seconds solely due to increased stride frequency.” Comments?

In the forum review, this is addressed as the AVERAGE stride length remained constant but the distribution changed with more power/less contact time.
