  • Another thought is to use music: Jog.fm will create a playlist of tunes at whatever bpm (beats per min) you choose. 150 bpm (or 75 by your method) is about a 10 min mile.

  • Nice video. I like the comment about gradually increasing the cadence with intensity. I prefer using a 3 step beat as it is balanced, i.e. 40 for 120 spm, 50 for 150 spm etc.

    You can increase stride length and go faster while keeping the cadence the same. For faster average paces, cadence increases along with stride length, but not as much as stride length. For example the stride should be substantially longer at 165 spm compared to 150 spm.

  • Pace will be dictated by your stride length and foot turn over(cadence) over a certain distance. In Chi running, you go faster and increase pace as you learn to master the Chi form and relax.

    Cadence is how many times your feet hit the ground in one minute ie:180(fspm) cadence is a recognized cadence that runners should strive for. The key is to keep the same foot turn over speed for your entire run, no mater uphill, on a flat or downhill.

  • Yes, but cadence does not equal pace, right? I could (and should) have the same cadence at 5 mph as I would at 8 mph, right ?
