AMR Trains: Running Cadence 101
Description
We’ve got the beat on this one—we’re talking all about running cadence, so if you’re often injured or are looking for a little free speed, tune in!
Dimity talks to Coaches Jennifer Harrison and Elizabeth Waterstraat about why most runners would benefit from paying attention to their running cadence.
The trio discuss:
—The value of having your foot be on the ground for less time;
—How to measure running cadence either manually or using a GPS;
—Why 164 steps per minute—not the mythical 180—is a great goal for most of us; and
—Ways to (patiently) work on your cadence, including music.
