The Planted Runner

The Myth of the 180 Cadence and How to Quicken Yours


Listen Later

Your running cadence is the pattern or number of steps you run per minute. Increase your cadence and you’re halfway to running faster. Lengthening your stride is the other half of the equation, but doing that can be problematic.

It’s far more effective to focus on quickening your feet.

Let’s explore why.

On today’s show, I’m going to dive into your running cadence. I’ll go over:

  • why focusing on your cadence can be an important tool for gaining speed with lower injury risk,
  • some myths about the ideal cadence for runners, and I’ll explain
  • a few techniques for improving your cadence to help you get faster quicker

  • Welcome to the Planted Runner. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition.
