Glossary: Flight time

Flight time is the time you spend with no foot on the ground while running. Ground contact time and flight time together add up to the time from touching down one foot to touching down the other foot.

Flight time can be negative if you do not run but walk. Then the absolute flight time is equal to the time spent on the ground with both feet at the same time.
