I do the same thing you did in your race: Need to speed up? Increase cadence? Feeling tired? Increase cadence.<br /><br />It is not unlike on a bike. Force and cadence dictate power. Stensland's advice about pushing away from the ground is all about the force you apply. You can vary that based on your fitness and current fatigue level. If you drop your cadence, you'll need to increase your force to maintain the same pace, which is far more fatiguing. <br /><br />Congratulations on the PR and overall improved fitness.

And fast songs definitely help me push!HolisticGuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455129019498669845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494389801534907407.post-47757336551067167312012-03-25T10:23:45.131-04:002012-03-25T10:23:45.131-04:00You go, girl!

Adding to your cadence point: for those who run with an iPod ALL the time, it's good to throw a run in there here and there without it so that you can focus on what your body is doing. I've found that when I run with music, my cadence ends up matching the beat of the song I'm listening to, which isn't really a good thing! These people get to race day without their music and their body is unsure of what to do!PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915520044052627933noreply@blogger.com
