... Low level jumping and hopping is all I'd advise really. Not depth jumps or anything like that. Hop Scotch is a plyometric exercise which I expect most see as easy?

so he is, even more "elderly" than I am, but also, I think, possessed of a fine and accurate mind and endless dedication. I'll drop him a note.

Your memory is going HOD, you've tried that before with a singular lack of success.
And what Gobi said.

Hi Chris, None of us are getting any younger If you always run at a slow pace then you will limit your range of motion and therefore your stride length and as you say you also also benefit from trying to increase your cadence. I would suggest that once a week you head to a track with your metronome and try some faster running/form intervals. You could start with 2 mins as fast as you feel your body will allow you and recover for 1 minute, then repeat. Aim for 6 repeats if you can and work up to 12 over the weeks, take as long as you need to get there. The first rep should be the slowest and the last the fastest. Your focuses on the faster rep should be moving through the gears, so adjusting your lean while keeping your cadence the same and pelvic rotation. When you slow down, keep the cadence and so on. How does that sound?
It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Time for another lesson?
I'm teaching all day tomorrow so if I don't get back on here tonight, I will check in on Sunday

Thanks, Mitch. I feel as if I'd be wasting your time and mine at the moment, but some light jumping does feel as if it's being effective. If I stop feeling as if I'm made of plasticene, though, it would be good to have another session with you.

It takes skill to run slowly but I believe it aids running faster

There are probably good and bad ways of running slowly, and I think I have sunk into a bad way. E.g. by never running any faster.
