MUD Mired in time...
Looking at footprints in the mud, we gravitate to distances between what we see there. Size (length and width) of each foot and any wounds or oddities. If there is only a left
and a right footprint then we take double the step length (assuming the other side step is similar) to get the full stride length (which, again, is wrong – sorry – we’ll get to that). This is 75% of the person's height if the prints don't look hurried. Deeper heel and smeared edges might suggest hurried gait so we then guess using ? 85% ? If there was some way to know WHEN the heels hit the ground and when each heel left and when the forefoot came down and when the toes left to swing, as is possible with electronic mud having footprint tracking digital running pads, then we have TIME EVENTS such as: right heel strike, heel off, toe strike, toe off & left heel strike, heel off, toe strike, toe off etc...
