Common questions
What is Stride Count about?
The discipline and the mark: what was run, jumped or thrown, and under what conditions. Disciplines is the spine, Competition follows the calendar, Marks & records carries the performances as published, Training covers the preparation, and Athletes & programmes covers the people and the squads.
Why do conditions matter so much here?
Because a mark without wind reading, altitude or timing method is close to meaningless in athletics. Where the source published those details the piece carries them, and where it did not, the piece says the mark is reported without them.
Are records here ratified?
Not necessarily, and the piece says which. A performance is reported as it was announced, and ratification by the governing body can take weeks and sometimes does not come at all.
Where do the results come from?
From federation and meet results, published research and named publications, credited and linked in each piece. Nothing is timed or measured here.
Who produces the articles?
They are written with automated assistance from the source material, without an individual byline, and credit the source publication instead. Nobody here is presented as a coach or an athlete.
Does reading here leave a trace?
No. There are no cookies, no analytics and no third-party assets of any kind.
