E13 - Finding a Good Cadence for Running: Breaking Down the Numbers and Myths

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, host Alison Marie discusses the concept of cadence in running and its impact on performance and injury risk. She explains that while the commonly recommended 180 steps per minute works for elite athletes, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution for all runners. Cadence should vary based on pace and individual characteristics, and a lower cadence can lead to overstriding and increased load, while a higher cadence distributes load over more steps. Alison emphasizes addressing biomechanics, such as stride length and body alignment, before focusing on cadence adjustments and recommends strides, strength training, and specific warmups to optimize running efficiency.
