It's a stride in our language MPG (the word stride should be in red with an explanation if you click it.
When Parker says 1 mile striders he means what you describe but do it for a whole mile, i.e. 8 x 100m fast 100m jog.

I see it's not one of those red words - like rice - at all. Oh well.

Didn't really get the strides concept myself until I did it with club, on the track striding the straights and jogging the bends.

HI
I have a HRM but not to sure how to train with it. My max is 187 and rest is 51. I have listned to lots of podcasts etc that say ishould be base training at the lowest zone before starting my marathon training program. I am over weight so i know i need to stay in the fat burn zone but that is 100-120. I am more or less walking so this cant be right.
any body any ideas or easy to understand web sites that do a base training program ?

Try doing some runs at under 75% of your max, so 140 bpm max. The % of max approach mean you don't need to worry about your resting. Tis simpler. No need for you to be running as low as 100-120!

So would this be a good rate for doing lots of steady base runs ?

It would be ideal James. Even taking your minimum into account you can go up to 146.
I'm not sure where your numbers come from btw - just concentrate on staying aerobic. The fat burn zone thing is a bit of a myth - you'll burn more fat (and more total calories) in an hour running faster than you will in the same time running slower.
