Hit Your Stride

TO HIT MY STRIDE

Welcome to English in a minute!

We all know that hitting is not good behavior.

“to hit my stride”

So why is “hitting your stride” a good thing?

What are you reading?

Julia Child’s biography.

Is the book any good?

Yes, what I really love about Julia Child, is that she did not hit her stride as a cooking expert until later in life.

That’s interesting. I guess we all hit our strides at different time in life.

When you “hit your stride”, you have become comfortable with doing something and you were good at it.

This expression comes from running.

When a runner hits their stride, they are moving quickly and at a fast speed.

And that’s English in a minute.
