DON'T increase your RUNNING CADENCE by focusing on cadence
#runcadence #exercises #runninginjuryfree
Most distance runners tend to have a lower cadence. While this is not fundamentally wrong, there are plenty of reasons to try and increase it, ranging from reducing running related injuries, to improving overall running performance.
However, while artificially changing your cadence may work for some, for plenty of runners it either doesn't stick or it creates more problems than it solves. That's because in order to change your running cadence, you shouldn't have to count your steps. Learn what to do in today's video!

  • @nanz_dagoat___
    @nanz_dagoat___ Місяць тому

    Hi, just to check should we only be doing the exercises on the injured knee? Or both knees? As I assume this will help prevent imbalances. Also, how many sets of each exercise should I do?

    • @SafeMotions
      @SafeMotions Місяць тому

      @@nanz_dagoat___ Hi, thanks for the good question. Yes, mostly on the injured knee, you could do (where possible), twice more on the injured side for example. It's always good to work on both, if time allows. In terms of sets, you could repeat to mild fatigue/burn in the glutes or quads with a maximum of 25. 3 to 4 sets no more than twice a day 3 to 5 days a week. All of this does deeply depend on whether your knee can handle the work and what the cause of the injury is. So if you are having pain during the exercise or the next day, let's assume that either this was too much workout, not ideal form or the exercises are not adapted.

      @@nanz_dagoat___ Hi again, I think you can continue to run under the very strict condition that you don't have pain during the run or the next day. That means pick a distance that is shorter and an intensity that is lower and at a lesser frequency, so that the knee can tolerate it well. Perhaps even walk runs or mild jog. Then build up as the knee improves.

    Interesting. For me, a lot depends on the running environment. When getting around in everyday life, I choose to wear zero-drop minimalist footwear or go barefoot and have done for some years. When training on varying terrain of trails, I wear zero drop Altras and love them. They offer very direct proprioceptive feedback and improve my stability on changing surfaces. But, if I’m road running on hard, more even surfaces and running faster, I prefer to add some cushion - a bit of foam and a small heel lift makes the ride more comfortable, especially on concrete and hard, compact surfaces. That’s just what I’ve found to work for me. So I suspecty the answer is….it depends. Thanks for the great content - always thought provoking.

Depending on the sports you do, also make sure that you have good symmetry in the movements of the legs.

      @@jaegyunkim4287 Try foam rolling the front of your hips and all the quadriceps (front of the thigh and side of the thigh) to loosen up the knee cap. Place the roller where it feels tender and just hold for 10 seconds or so. Try and do this twice a day for a couple of minutes. See what happens after 2 weeks.

    Wow, I never knew that. The previous hamstring stretches are advocates. Thanks for the information. Does this stretch only apply to someone running 🏃‍♀️ can you do this to stretch the hamstring all the time?

      @@cecestewart1097 These mobility exercises are with the runner in mind. If you are a yogi or a martial artist, you might need more specific stretches, but always bear in mind that the sciatic nerve is in there... You must be sure that you intentionally want to stretch it, before you engage those ankles into your hamstring static stretches.

    very good explanations, for the bridge exercise, do we need to hold at the "up" position for like 3-4 secs or not needed? what is best as per your suggestion?

      @@diauser3327 You do not need to hold the pose when up, it's in my opinion more interesting to give a progressive squeeze of the glutes as the pelvis moves upwards. Once you're at a good high, just slowly lower your pelvis. These are rather a movement-based exercise.

      @@jast1n468 Thanks for your question! It could still be a clear sign of irritation of the tissues, especially if it's on one side only. Either reduce the intensity of your exercises or consider finding other activities that are less aggressive on the hammies, such as the ones in the full video.

However, if time and motivation are an issue, I always like doing those as a warm up before running. There is no issue doing them after an easy run, as long as the exercises don't cause pain.
