Still fighting the motivation issues.  I wanted to concentrate on my turnover today and see how close to 180 I could get.  I checked my stride rate a couple of times and was around 175.  The turnover felt fast.  I guess this means that it is something that I really need to focus on.  I want to get to the point were 175-180 feels normal.

Total Time: 1:05:26 (7:16/mile)

One time I counted Dennis Simonaitis' turnover during a half-marathon. It was only 175. You are about his height. Dennis ran 2:18 in Twin Cities that year. I think 175 turnover for you is probably just right.

Overall I would not worry too much about what kind of turnover you've got. If you run a lot you will have the best for your body. If you have a turnover that is too low, rather than trying to force it, you should look for the underlying reasons and try to correct them.
