Improve Your Stride Without Trying

If this gets cross posted to Facebook, then success. All the site changes, I wonder. Increase your stride with hill repeats rather than Chi Running or Pose Running deliberate techniques. "Without Trying." Sorry, never did anything "without trying." From Active.com.

 Branded running techniques such as Chi Running and the Pose method have become quite popular. But are they effective? Many runners who have read the books, watched the DVD's and/or attended the clinics say they are, and no doubt they do yield results for some runners. But do they represent the best way to increase stride power and efficiency and to reduce the stride anomalies that cause injuries in most runners?
There is no scientific proof that this is the case. In fact, quite the opposite. For example, a 2005 study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences reported that the running economy of 16 high-level triathletes was actually reduced (meaning the athletes became less efficient) after 12 weeks of practicing the Pose running method.
