Changes

So what should your cadence be? It seems that a turnover of 180 90 steps/minute is right for most people(180 steps/minute if counting both feet). To start off, check your cadence when you are running by counting how often your left foot touches the ground in a minute, then double the number. If the number is 180 90 or higher, pat yourself on the back and go for another run. If the number is lower than 18090, then you should look at changing your cadence. Your cadence does not have to be exactly 180, and is likely to change somewhat with your pace and terrain. A faster pace may have a higher cadence, as will up or down hill sections. My cadence now varies between 184 92 and 200 100 depending on pace. If your cadence was to vary between 17788-18392, you're doing well, though above 180 90 is preferable.
