    Great tip, thanks. I've noticed how once I consciously increase the cadence and reduce my 'kick', I can actually sustain 10-15 seconds/km faster with the same perceived effort...At the same time, you don't want to use energy holding back your natural stride, so I suppose you have to find a happy medium....

    Nice video. You could do a video on how discovered you were pushing too hard on most of your workouts and how you learned to keep yourself in that conversational pace that was revolutionary for you in terms of that base building.

    Hi James , although this makes sense, height, muscle fibre type propensity ie fast/ slow twitch and age must play a part. My Garmin running gps watch indicates my cadence is a relatively low 155. I'll attempt to get to 160 to start with. At 61 this dog has to learn a new trick it seems. Keep em coming. Thanks

    The other day I went out and switched my Garmin screen to only show HR and not speed. At all. For the full 45 min run. It felt unnatural but was fantastic. I am so used to time pressure which makes me run hard even when I don't want to.
    I ran easy enough to stay at below 135bpm. And my time wasn't all that much slower. But I did 7km with much less effort. Felt like I could have easily done another 3/5 km.

    Hi James. Great video! One quick question. I figured that when I am trying to slow down my runs to get my HR below the MAF threshold, beyond a point I need to reduce my cadence to 160 or below since it gets that slow for me. Keeping it higher makes the strides uncomfortably short and probably thus raising my HR. However, when I am running fast, my cadence easily goes above 180. My average cadence on a 5k which I raced recently was 186. Any suggestions on how to balance the HR/cadence/breathing rhythm?

    • @zerog4261
      @zerog4261 2 роки тому

      That's my problem. Going medium to fast fine but when it's a long or recovery run I find 180 cadence way way too high, to the point I feel uncomfortable the nxt day. My feet are always sore

    • @christiandgreat8127
      @christiandgreat8127 2 роки тому +1

      Thats weird in mine.. slow run or fast run i always end on 175-185 cadence.
      Maybe practice on your eassy run to be at that rhythm??

  • @parrotbrand2782
    @parrotbrand2782 8 місяців тому

    Optimizing your cadence and posture can only do as much. There is also cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance to consider. These are not always easy to improve. You can teach these techniques to people and half the people out there still cannot complete 2 miles.
    I used to run at a low cadence, below 150. Now i am running at 160 but it is not possible to increase it more at the slow pace i am running. I am making a conscious effort to shorten my strides and increase more steps but this is making me more tired than running at my comfortable 160 cadence. For my height and low speed i am doing, 160 per min seems most comfortable. I know i can increase it to 180 but i would be uncomfortable taking unnaturally tiny steps. I can try to run faster but i get tired

    Well I'm doing both of those: High cadence, and most training is slow. Now I need to work out how to get more 'air time' / stride length.

    A question not fully related to this but do you have a tendency to find it difficult to slow down? I've started running on & off and with asthma I do struggle with breathing but only during exercise. My heart rate is up high in the 170's and I feel like I just waste so much energy
    Do you have any tips to make yourself slow down? My outdoor runs consist of 6'20"km to 6'40"km, I know I need to slow down but as stupid as it sounds I find it difficult. I'd rather run outside but would things like a treadmill where you can set your pace help condition yourself (me) into running that when outside?

    • @glassmw9823
      @glassmw9823 2 роки тому

      170 BPM heart rate is pretty high. A treadmill like you said should help. Also a watch or app that alerts you when your heart rate gets above a certain threshold would help as well.

      As a fellow asthmatic, I had to take my inhaler before many runs, and after every race. I tried Heart Rate training for 6 months. It forced me to slow down, I learned to breathe through my nose- something I NEVER thought I could do- and haven't used my inhaler since, even during tough races! I also focus on distance instead of speed now. I'm trying to get some speed back now, and increase my cadence again. Best wishes!

    Thanks for this James. Have been doing Parkrun for many years. Working up to my first half marathon - trying to go under 2hrs at age 55. Running about a 5:40-5:50/km pace on my longer runs (up to 17kms so far), but my cadence is about 175 and BPM is around 145-150. Oh, and I'm 5'7", so I'm guessing my cadence is likely to be higher than someone who is 6'3 trying to do the same pace. Is this in the right sort of ball park?
