Ankle Advice
-
went for a run last night, well walk up the stairs, run on flat and down...my ave cadence over the run is 69 (looking back over my last half dozen runs it is about that too - although these have largely been trail runs with steep incline/decline) 180 seems impossible!
I'll wait until the shorter evenings when I am forced to run on roads/paths before I look at this cadence thing a bit closer.
I have however had PBs on segments of my runs the last few times too, not sure what to attribute that to.

@taniwharugby
I just checked my most recent run a few days ago. Ave cadence 163, max 176, ave stride length 1.27m (I'm about 6'2 if that's revelant). That was over 8km of pretty flat tarmacNot too far off @Magpie_in_aus !
Max heart rate was 182 though

@voodoo my ave HR last night was 174, max 192...only 3.59km, but half of 'run' is ascending
But my resting HR (while sleeping) is ave of 58 (has dropped form about 62 in last 6 months)

@taniwharugby That looks horribly hilly!!! Probably not the best route for trying to measure ave cadence?
-
@voodoo haha yeah thats what I said above!
@taniwharugby sorry, not paying attention!

Man, mine is 150, so would have to add 30 steps per minute. Might be worth trying as I keep tweaking something running, this time my back.
@Kirwan it definitely feels good when you pick up the cadence and shorten stride. My physio also told me to focus on keeping my upper body straighter, down from the shoulders, like your shoulders were on a coat hanger. Feels less like you're lumbering along and more like you're running at pace - and damn the stats that say otherwise!!!
