If you are running you are missing out on running in a cadence. Even if you do not try, you most likely will start to develop one on your own. If you are interested in making your own cadence there are a few things that you should note before starting and a few things you should plan for. The math used for a cadence is how many times you step in one minute. Once you have that information, you can use that tempo and match it with music.
Key Takeaways:
- Creating a cadence allows you to easily keep track of your progress.
- Cadences help runners with keeping a pace and also helping with running speed.
- Keeping in rhythm and a good cadence will also help lessen the impact of injuries.
“A combination of a faster cadence with a shorter stride length is optimal. This is backed by a research study published in 2014 in Sports Health – a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed journal involved in the training and care of competitive or recreational athletes.”
