What if your relentless focus on hitting 180 steps per minute is actually making you a slower, less efficient runner?
*Key Takeaways*
1. Cadence isn't a number to force, but a natural result of efficient running. Chasing a specific step count skips the most important step: learning how the right rhythm feels.
2. The goal is to spend less time on the ground with each step. Shorter, quicker steps recycle your energy better and reduce impact on your joints.
3. You can train your brain and body for better cadence naturally. Using hills, barefoot drills, or rhythmic music helps build this feel without overthinking.
