FARunning with a higher cadence doesn’t mean running faster.
✅ A slightly higher cadence can reduce knee loading and improve running economy because it often helps your foot land closer under your body instead of overstriding. For many runners, increasing cadence by about 5–10% is a good starting point.
💡 When runners try to increase cadence, they often speed up unintentionally. That raises heart rate and changes the training effect — especially during easy runs. But cadence practice should also happen during your easy mileage (the ~80% of your training).
1️⃣ Tip 1: Wear a heart-rate monitor. Increase cadence while keeping your heart rate in the intended zone.
2️⃣ Tip 2: Control your pace. If your easy 10 km is normally run in X minutes, keep the same pace while slightly increasing cadence.
🎯 Rhythm tip: Use a playlist or metronome set to your target cadence.
