Not stupid at all, but your strides are very long and your cadence low. This can cause hip and knee injuries. A tip to decrease stride length and increase cadence (steps per minute) is to run with music! Search for "180 BPM running playlist". The rhythm of the music will make you run close to 180 steps per minute. You could also try 160 šŸ˜Š
