* Some [[Best Running Watch| running watches]] will display your cadence. The most common source for cadence is a [[Footpod]], but some Garmin watches can get cadence from the [[Heart Rate Monitor]] strap. The watches that provide cadence from an internal accelerometer tend to be less accurate than the other options, but it works if you make some allowances. The best watches will alert you if your cadence is out of the range you specify. See [[Best Running Watch]] for details on which watches have the functionality you want.
* You can [[Remixing Music For Running| remix music]] so that it is a higher tempo.
* If you run with a Smartphone, Spotify can detect your cadence and provide music with the right tempo. You can then adjust the tempo to match what you want your Cadence to be. I found the cadence detection to be pretty good and it's nice to have a wide selection of music that's the right tempo. Most of the time Spotify didn't seem to give me upbeat music, and I have better results with remixing music. Of course, the remix process is tedious and time consuming, so Spotify is much better than listening to music with the wrong beat.(This works on the free version of Spotify as well as the premium service, but only on the mobile app.)<br/>
