Running really "bouncy" = higher top speeds?

[no23]

I’m sure most of you know what I mean by running bouncy. Basically, staying high on the balls of your feet, and really bouncing up and down high, sort of like you’re bounding.

I was watching powell’s 9.75 run and got reminded of running like this. Does it increase your stride length? and when I run like this when im just doing warm up strides, it “feels” sort of faster.

thoughts?

You’re really asking the wrong question.

It can be many things, but in the instance you refer to it’s a side effect of reaching correct max speed, not the other way round.
