The Importance of Cadence and How to Improve It

This chapter discusses the importance of cadence in running and how to improve it. They explain that cadence, which refers to the number of steps taken per minute, can impact running efficiency. They suggest starting with small increases in cadence and gradually working towards a target range based on individual preferences. They provide two suggestions for improving cadence: focusing on taking more smaller steps and using a metronome app or music with beats per minute in the target range. They emphasize the importance of consistency in retraining the body and neuromuscular system to adopt a new running style.
