I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">took big steps</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for strode that I've seen before include "Paced" , "Galumphed" , "Walked fast with long steps" , "went on foot" .)
