Why is your run cadence so important? What is the optimum cadence? What can you do to improve yours?

The more strides you take, the less time you spend in the air and the softer the landing. This is a much more efficient and comfortable running style and is preferred amongst the pros.

A lot of research has gone into running cadence and the optimum is considered to be 180 strides per minute and this is the average amongst elite runners!

2 ways to improve your cadence include downhill sprints and running on the spot as fast as you can. This speed work will increase your cadence and in turn improve your running speed during your next triathlon!
