Q&A #90 - Cycling cadence physiology and training revisited; Running dynamics metrics

• The physiological effects of cycling at different cadences 
• Why is heart rate high during high cadence cycling? 
• Cycling training at low and high cadences
• Running dynamics (stride length, vertical oscillation and ratio, ground contact time and left/right balance, etc.) - are they useful?
