Today I've been playing round with a little prototype that looks at pace against cadence. I'd noticed (in my last few runs) that my cadence was higher when I ran faster - but I was interested to see what the relationship looked like, and whether this held true on a bigger scale.
The little tool that I've built will look at any given month in my training log, and work out my average pace for each cadence. My Suunto records "two leg cadence", which means that most runners will be in the 80-100 range with their readings; whereas some watches record the number of strides - so those runners would see readings between 160-200.
I've read somewhere that the 'ideal' cadence for running is 90 or 180 (depending on which system above you use). Ideal for what, I'm not exactly sure.
Anyway... here's what my little prototype created for a few of my recent months of training (you might want to click on the image to see a clearer version of the graphs):
I've put the kitten there for those of you that don't give a shit about cadence
The results are pretty cool. It backs up the idea that a faster cadence tends to bring about faster pace. Each column represents a particular cadence in the 80-90 range; the numbers on the top of the columns are my average pace at that cadence during the given month; and the figures at the very bottom of each graph show the mileage I clocked up at that particular cadence. My training has been all over the shop over the last few months due to some calf problems, but I'm interested to see how these graphs will develop if I can get some consistency in place.
If you'd like to see this become an actual tool that you can point at your own training, give me a 'hell yeah' And if you're considering making a little donation to the site but haven't done so before - this right here is exactly the sort of stuff I'd like to be concentrating on, rather than thinking about funding - so have a think about it. Here's the info if you need it: fetcheveryone.com/invite.php

Here's one that I hope will please an audience outside of the folks who vote on feature requests.
I bet you've all done this at least once. Either forgot to press stop when you've arrived home, and wandered round the house with your watch running; or maybe jumped in your car after a parkrun or training session or whatever, and driven home with it running.
Well, help is at hand. Look for the little 'Trim GPS Data' link just above the map in your training entries. It leads to a page where you can trim off those annoying extra bits.
Trimming your data will automatically shave off any distance and time; rebuild your elevation profile; recalculate your benchmarks; and potentially save your embarrassment by avoiding those quipsters who like to ask how it felt to break that world record, etc.
This came about entirely because of our feature request system, and the people who vote in it. Have a look at the list (sort by score to see the popular ones), vote up your favourites, and add new ones (but please search the list first to reduce the chances of duplicates): fetcheveryone.com/featurevoting

Very clever! I predict it won’t be long before I need to use it!♪♫ Synge ♪♫2:50pm, 29th Jan 2020

Nicely done. I've raised a couple of feature requests which might (easily?) extend this capability - to allow both parts to be saved instead of one saved, one culled. That would allow a single run to be split into "warm up" and "tempo", and if needed then you could go into the tempo bit and split that further into "tempo" and "cool down" etc.larkim
Also, would be helpful (for me at least!) for the distance of each section to be shown to 2 decimal places. But that's just me being picky!2:50pm, 29th Jan 2020 -

Sounds like a simple solution to a common prolem - very impressed the way you've solved it. (without knowing if it was 5 mins or 6 months coding & testing ...)um
Without resorting to a new feature request (yet) :-
- it would be great to be able to save both old & new (primarily to save 'trimmed' as a route to delete the actual address details for start & end points)
- will it remove conquersize (& checkpoint) zones as appropriate? (if saved as ther old training)
Biut agree with Rosehip - this is sheer brilliance. Well done & thanks!3:29pm, 29th Jan 2020 -

Really really useful. Top workSerendippily6:15am, 30th Jan 2020

Just a question really - is the slider "time" or "distance"? I'm guessing it's "time" so that if you were stationary for a prolonged period of time you'd be able to slide back until you started moving? I don't think I have too many static parts in my logs, so I can't discover this for myself!larkim2:55pm, 30th Jan 2020
-
It's technically neither - it's based on the number of data points in your trace. My Suunto takes a reading every second - so it's effectively the same thing, but other watches may have a larger or varied sampling period. Does that answer the question?fetcheveryone2:58pm, 30th Jan 2020

Yes, makes sense. Effectively it scrolls time then, as each data point will be recorded at earlier and earlier points in time.larkim3:11pm, 30th Jan 2020

This is a great feature and has already been used when I forgot to switch my watch off. It says that it doesn't feed through into fetch games yet...does that mean that if I go for a run, and then drive home, and upload the session the whole of the run and drive will count in WSW and Fetchpoint even if I trim the session for the purposes of my log?MisterTea3:51pm, 7th Feb 2020
-
Unfortunately, it's not clever enough to tidy the games up yet, no.fetcheveryone3:51pm, 7th Feb 2020
-
So, in the above example, if I import session, trim session, delete session, reimport session (I'm using a Fitbit) - will that be treated correctly by WSW and FP in terms of squares claimed, flowers planted etcMisterTea4:06pm, 7th Feb 2020

Again no, sorry - when you reimport you will be picking up the raw data again.fetcheveryone4:10pm, 7th Feb 2020
Here's what I've been pulling together over the last few days. It's a set of leaderboards based on the fastest portions of the GPS data from your training log.
fetcheveryone.com/league-weekly.php
If you've got some unexpectedly fast times, click 'Your fastest efforts' at the bottom of each table, which takes you to the benchmarks page. From here, you can use the 'Remove' links to kill off any unwarranted world records due to a bad GPS signal, or caused by that time you forgot to stop your watch before driving home. I've also been crushing various people who have logged skiing as running. There are some tell-tale straight bits, which I think is when they're riding the ski lifts. Oh, and they're in the Alps or sutin.
To protect the server, the tables are automatically refreshed once every six hours. There's a little note on each table that shows you when it was last built - so any tidying up you do will not be reflected until the table is remade.
If you're *NOT* listed, it may well be because your share settings are too restrictive. There's a note just above the tables that explains what you need to do.
I'm not doing a lot of organised racing, but I had fun this morning when I realised that my 10k time in this table was looking very beatable. I hope you'll have fun with it too.

I've got some logs which are properly marked as "Cross Training - Skiing" but they are still showing as my fastest km etc. I can / will just click to remove, but wondered if there was a gremlin causing those to be included in the first place?larkim1:49pm, 23rd Jan 2020

I'm confused - probably just me - It tells me my fastest mile was 4:42 on 5th September 2018 - but in the training log that runs shows as an average of 10 minutes per mile. If I tell it to remove the 4:42 will it remove the record of that run in my training log - which looks fine?Elsie Too1:57pm, 23rd Jan 2020

@mikep - click on the date for the entry and it will take you to the specific training log that has caused the calc.larkim2:09pm, 23rd Jan 2020
-
@elsie - removing the 4:42 will not delete the associated training entry. In fact, it doesn't seem to be associated with the existing training entry from 5th Sep 2018 at all - so it was maybe a training entry that you'd deleted some time ago because it was wrong. I will see if I can weed these entries out of the database.fetcheveryone2:21pm, 23rd Jan 2020

@fetcheveryone - this entry 16130131 has been picked up for my fastest 400m for example.larkim2:31pm, 23rd Jan 2020
-
Turns out I've done a reasonable job of cleaning the data that goes into making this new table, but when you visit 'Your fastest efforts', the older stuff isn't quite so consistent. I've added something to the "delete training" page that will tidy up its associated benchmarks, so if you're able to tidy up your list, it *should* stop happening.fetcheveryone2:38pm, 23rd Jan 2020

Hmm, gremlins.... my fastest mile for running is showing as an implausible 4:25; when I click on the acitivity date, though, it takes me to a ride. My second fastest is showing as 5:17, but the activity was a 45-mile ultra (12268659) where I definitely did not run that fast at any point!I saw ishep come sailing in2:39pm, 23rd Jan 2020

Easy enough for me to tidy my bits. I might be wrong, but I don't remember the "benchmarks" page having details for 400m and 800m before, which is why I had erroneous data in there that I didn't know about.larkim2:59pm, 23rd Jan 2020
-
@ishep - regarding the ultra (12268659), one of your mile splits in the notes is 3:01 - and looking at the trace, my guess is that there's some kind of lost signal - it jumps in a very straight line, between mile 6 and 7.fetcheveryone3:01pm, 23rd Jan 2020

Doesn't the new top line of 400m 800m 1km etc etc come with this new stuff then? Perhaps I'm just remembering an older layout from when I last viewed it about 6 months ago.larkim3:03pm, 23rd Jan 2020

I've tried to simplify the Previous Entries box (on the right on desktop, under the blog on mobile), to make it a bit easier for you to look at old blogs. Instead of having to open up years and months, you can now just scroll through the entire list of blog titles.
Easier?

Red month headings help. Could the type size could be smaller? Being a point size or four bigger than the entry opposite makes the list very dominant.

It really is just the basics at the moment - but once I've got it working as well as can be, I will integrate it into the main search function. For now, the only link to it is here in this blog.
Have a think about the sort of things you (or an imaginary user on a quest for something) might want to find in our forum, and try searching for them.
Leave me a comment to let me know how you get on. Did the returned threads look useful?

It really is just the basics at the moment - but once I've got it working as well as can be, I will integrate it into the main search function. For now, the only link to it is here in this blog.
Have a think about the sort of things you (or an imaginary user on a quest for something) might want to find in our forum, and try searching for them.
Leave me a comment to let me know how you get on. Did the returned threads look useful?

I did a search for "Round Sheffield Run", knowing that there is a thread called exactly that. It didn't feature in any of the results:Sigh3:50pm, 15th Jan 2020

For a result thread that has multiple pages, just seems to take you to the last page, which for me was not the page that had the search word - if there are hundreds of pages in the thread then not too helpful. Taking you to first occurrence would be better ( with resultant word highlighted, so you can see immediately which post in the page has the word ), but even better would be take to first occurrence and a prev/next set of buttons to navigate multiple page matches within a thread.K5 Gus
If you put in 2 words, I thought it might search for occurrences of those 2 words together, but I think it returns threads with just either one of the words. Tried quotes around the 2 words but didn't work. Not sure if you plan to enhance it to work with 2+ words in some way, or just single words.4:00pm, 15th Jan 2020 -
Agree with K5 Gus's suggestions - some form of logical operator in the way that Google searches, so phrases "Hello world" or Hello -world. Searching across time periods is sometimes helpful too.larkim
Is there any way the design of the site or its visibility to engines such as Google could be tweaked so that a Google search would actually work (from within the site). ISTR that the Guardian uses this on its website - would take the strain off your coding powers. It looks to me like they just embed a link to google.co.uk and let Google crawl / index / return results for them.4:19pm, 15th Jan 2020 -
Just to expand on the above, because forum URLs are unique to the page I don't think it is possible with Google's custom search to search just one individual thread (that is my most commonly thought through "missing" on the FE searching). It would be nice to be able to search the 3:15 training thread, for posts by XZY in the period 01/01/13 to 01/04/13 for example.larkim4:26pm, 15th Jan 2020

You can get Google to search our forum, with all its massive computing power. Just add site:Fetcheveryone.com to your search phrase.fetcheveryone4:45pm, 15th Jan 2020
-
You can, yes. But it does it badly. For example, it doesn't allow for a specific thread to be searched, and the results it returns with date parameters will include more recent updates (e.g. I tried searching on the sub 3:15 thread for posts with my username in between the dawn of time and May 2013. It returned a result from around that time, but the only reference to my username was in the sidebar).larkim
But anyway, you could just add a google search box onto your website which is constrained to this site. Free google searching within your site (as I noted the guardian does for its own site).4:51pm, 15th Jan 2020 -
Confirming that in my experience, Google with site:fetchxxx fails miserably.um
Search fetaure is godd, but my 'requests' would be (largely as above)
- search within a specific thread or across threads
- optional time span
- multiple words - either in "" for exact match, or + - to force or exclude
- for search across threads - link to the first occurence and then allow easy repeat search within that thread
- for search within a thread, show all occurences in the results (page by page) with links to the page
Good luck - and good first start !5:10pm, 15th Jan 2020 -
The use case I had in mind whilst putting this together is that of a new/inexperienced user who wants help with training for a marathon, and might therefore search for 'marathon training'. Of the threads that are returned, the top ten all have hundreds of instances of both words - so highlighting all instances or even the first instance isn't necessarily helpful to our imaginary user.fetcheveryone
I get the feeling from the level of detail being suggested in the comments that what might work best for you all is a thread-specific search (which is computationally more achievable for our solo server), rather than something which attempts to cover the entire forum. I'm imagining the thought process that goes "XYZ claimed to see an upside to Brexit on the politics thread. It had something to do with mackerel" - and this being a key word that you could apply to that specific thread. Yes, you won't always know which thread, but I think it would cover a few bases.
@Sigh - the algorithm is looking for those words within the thread. I'd made the assumption that anything in the thread title would also be mentioned multiple times in the content. I will see if I can tinker with it to include the titles.6:47pm, 15th Jan 2020 -
I searched for 'hydration packs' and it returned lots of links to threads. I haven't time to check them, but if I was looking for information, the titles of quite a few of the threads would have me clicking on them for further information.

I searched for "press" as in press ups, and there were a lot of forums with "press" in the name brought up. But lower down the search list there was some that I couldn't see the connection to the word I searched for. Even when reading through some fo the forum (but have to say I didn't read all the pages) I couldn't see why it had been brought up.Dave W7:31am, 16th Jan 2020
-
I think you're right about those two usecases being different. Personally, I'd approach the first one by curating some content specifically for them - point them in directions of good threads, blogs, articles, wikis etc on the site, rather than searches.larkim
I think for persistent users the second usecase is what I'd like to see - "I know this content is in here somewhere, I think it was on this thread around about this time". Just thinking about other forums I use (where often they use off the shelf forum products) there's typically a "search this thread" and there's nearly always the ability to search for a specific user's posts and a specific time period. The results mostly return each individual post (or a link to it), sortable by date or by some calculated "best match" with keywords highlighted. Whilst I love the forums here, I've often wondered whether you've considered porting the self-built forum across to one of those off the shelf platforms (which I believe can be obtained for free in some cases like myBB) so that you don't have to build from the ground up, or you can take a leap to "forum 2.0" if you've reached the end of the development opportunity for your custom built forum.8:36am, 16th Jan 2020 -
Not sure how much use it would be for what I'm interested in, which is finding particular things that I vaguely recall being discussed before, but now can't find. For that, the use case is more like others have described above - take me to a specific comment/page where the words appear, but the search would still have to be across all threads. Being able to specify key words in title, name of poster, date range etc. would also be useful. But nice to see you working on some Search capabilities. Will follow with interest!

I can't see me using third party forum software larks, sorry. Use of our forum is increasing, so it feels like it's working reasonably well; our proprietary code makes it so much easier to avoid spambots (who would be all over us if I mishandled a single patch of widely-used software - they are constantly probing our server for the admin pages and security flaws of half a dozen such off-the-shelf packages); the integration and maintenance would not be trivial IMHO - certainly not proportional to the benefits of doing so; and I think I'd feel hamstrung by it. But I will add a thread-level searchfetcheveryone
Perhaps it's easiest to think of the new prototype not as an all-singing, all-dancing search, but as a step up from the current one that you can access by clicking 'Search' at the top of the page and choosing 'Search Threads'. It just uses thread titles, whereas this new prototype takes into account the keywords pulled from the content; the number of watchers; and the recency of the last post.9:44am, 16th Jan 2020 -
I can fully understand why you wouldn't want off the shelf; I've seen enough forums rendered useless due to spam etc! And I can hardly claim that I don't like the way the forum works given how much I use it! Some of the feature suggestions on the polling page would definitely make it better, and most are informed by the fact that other forums offer those features, but it is a pretty damned impressive and reliable forum to have been custom built!! So I hope you don't take my comments as a criticism!larkim
Look forward to the thread level search!!11:28am, 16th Jan 2020 -
Thanks for startingpaul the builder
Similar thoughts as lark and G(rrr) above - I would like to be able to find something from the mists of time, within a thread or a blog. I generally don't know the thread title (or maybe I do, but it's a giant thread), nor the blog title.
Things I can think of that I would like to have found recently:
- GlennR blog about Jordan Peterson book
- thread where Stander chucked a cigarette butt out of a car window
[attempts using prototype search]
No success. I notice that adding more terms increases (rather than refines) the number of results, which isn't normally how search works.11:39am, 16th Jan 2020 -

I think I managed to get up to 13st1 at Christmas. Having been close to 12st a couple of years ago, I was starting to feel like things were getting a bit out of hand.
Around Christmas, we pretty much had a drink most nights, even though at no point did I have more than three. But it was all adding up, and coupled with the tendency to snack at will, I think that's how I managed to go above 13st for the first time in a long time.
Before I started running, I remember being 13st10, so finding my way down into the 12's back in the early days of running was a real confidence booster.
A few days before New Year, Katie announced that she wanted some time off alcohol, and to try to eat a bit better. And I jumped on the chance. I decided to drop crisps, chocolate and most of my alcohol intake. I'm pretty sure I'm an all-or-nothing person when it comes to all three. It's easier not to start than it is to know when to stop.
I knew that I was going to Wales, and wanted to enjoy a pint with my dad, so I kept that as something to look forward to (I ended up having two pints and two cans). My only other drink was a Jack Daniels and ginger ale (aka 'Jack Weasley') when we had a power cut on the weekend - Katie's youngest came downstairs from his wifi cocoon, and we sat round with torches and candles and chatted.
I've stayed off the crisps entirely, and the only chocolate I've had was three maltesers that my boy force fed me. He thinks this sort of thing will be funny - and in all fairness, he DID find it pretty funny
There have been times when I've found myself feeling pretty hungry between meals, but I've tried to either have a piece of fruit, or some cashew nuts, or just wait it out. I think I'm getting used to waiting it out now, and getting less hunger pangs.
It was official weigh-in day today, and I was pleased to see that I'm now 12st9.5
Big weekend ahead, as I'll be with the boy - and it's easier to reach for the snack cupboard, but I've tried to plan ahead and find some good snacks that I can choose instead. I think I've missed having a little drink more than I've missed the crisps and chocolate - but seeing my progress today has given me a bit of reassurance that it's not all for nothing.
And now I've told you lot, I know I'll have to behave Another two weeks, and then I'll review where I'm at. Big hugs to everyone who is aiming to improve their eating habits!

Crisps are my downfall. They are not allowed in the house. Alcohol I control all year, even Christmas, christmas is really an extra Sunday Roast, I may have a beer or two more, to the extent I do not put weight on...what also helps is we deliberately have a few days hiking in and around the holiday.

Well done! A stone isn't really all that much but in my case made a big difference to my speed and energy up the hills.

I'm using the app again now, mainly to watch what I ate over Christmas and lose the extra couple of pounds (done) and keep it off.Icy Turkey Guzzler 🇮🇸

Ian - I find I 'naturally' put on weight in the winter (typically 81-84kg) and am less heavy (78-80kg) in summer.um
I've stopped worrying about it, assuming it's a natural thing. Probably fairly constant input (plus xmas binge of drink, choc, snacks, cakes, cheese) and seasonal output, ie I suspect winter running is gentler, well wrapped & less sweaty, whereas summer is faster, sweatier, probably more miles and more time spent running & walking.2:51pm, 14th Jan 2020 -

Use kg, they are actual units, and make sesnse. You get a continuous measure of progress (or not), and they relate to the units everything else is in e.g. calories! Pounds and stones are 50 years past their best before date, and that's being generous!boyband66665:31pm, 14th Jan 2020

The bit about running more makes you think you are invincible I do recognise But it helps a lot, and I like to embrace the idea that running means I can reward myself a bit!roberton
Some of my "things" for this are:
- think about how many good things I'm eating, more than bad things. So I do a variant of the 5-a-day thing which I officiously track
- don't worry about how much I eat in main meals, within reason (as Fetch says, healthier than most snacks!)
- don't buy lots of cheap treats (biscuits in my case) and when I have some, eat them as a deliberate act. E.g. I'm going to take 10 minutes to drink a nice cup of tea, with two biscuits, and enjoy them. Mindful snacking6:00pm, 14th Jan 2020 -
Nuts as snacks, especially mid-morning may help you control overall calorie intake. Also, most whole nuts have lower actual calorie content than on the back of the packet, almonds and walnuts ~20% less, cashews ~15% less and pistachios ~5% less.

We got a surprise parcel this morning, all the way from Belfast. Inside was a lovely card that gave me and Katie leaky eyes, and five awesome bobble hats. I am sitting up in bed with mine on, and Katie is doing the same.
They come from “We Are OutsideIn”, and it’s their mission to tackle homelessness. The idea is that you buy one to wear, and one to share with a homeless person. You can see more on their website: weareoi.com
In the mean time, we have two toasty heads, and three hats to donate. Why three? Well, HowFar? gave us his second hat to donate too. We will take a trip to the town centre and see what we can do.
Thank you HowFar? It’s another reminder of how lucky I am to be part of this wonderful community, and of all the things I have to be grateful for. Thank you everybody for making it happen.

That's just so FetchCarpathius10:40pm, 11th Jan 2020
Mainly because I like the cutesy pill-shaped graphic, I thought I'd highlight one of today's new features (#421) on this page: fetcheveryone.com/training-analysis-consecutive.php
The little capsules show your longest streak and your longest rest during the given year. Thanks to Chrisity for putting this idea forward. I've discovered that my longest running streak is six days (back in 2010), and my longest break is 17 days (which I've done multiple times, weirdly enough).
NB you can find the page by going to Train > Summary & Analysis
Other little improvements today:
#438 - on the home page, the entire 'View Log' button is now clickable, not just the words [although I felt this was more of a bug than a request for a new thing]
#433 & #461 - I've added a filter, so the default view of the feature requests now just shows the open ones.
#396 - if you hit 'Enter' upon entering the subject field when writing an fmail, the system now saves your blushes by not sending it until you've written the actual message.
#425 - in the calendar view of the training log, you can click an empty day, and it'll take you to the 'Add Training' page.
I've also done some random messing about with user profiles, bringing the 'Follow', 'Add to Buddies' and 'Send Fmail' links together - and nudging the links on your *own* user profile to a slightly more prominent position.
I did my longest run today since I twanged my calf in November Cautious increases during January, and I might yet get to Newport Marathon in April.
We are also hoping to go see Jojo Rabbit on the weekend

Wow, busy, busy - thanks for all the improvements.K5 Gus
A small point ( or maybe question ) regards the creaks/streaks - as you'll know there's a creaks and streaks graph on the Train page for the time period in your Graphs Settings, in that the creaks are on the left and streaks on the right, whereas on this new page it's the other way around which confused me initially. Is it worth standardising the 2 graphs to one way ( whichever way you think is best ) ?8:18pm, 9th Jan 2020 -

Good work that man! I need to put in a Feature request for the Consecutive page because the toggle between Run-Only and Everything confuses me. I thought it was telling me it *was* Run-only, when it's a button to change *to* Run-only! And I'll put in a separate Feature Request for Run, Swim, Bike, Cross Train to all be switch on/off able. And a tick box or option to "Ignore X-train - Rest" and X-train - Bugger All in count. Because I use them for notes about folk visiting, giving blood etc. They're not training! GMerry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr)8:31am, 10th Jan 2020
Feature Request 436 asked for a list ranking your highest mileage months. And lots of you voted for it (perhaps because it was near the top of the list when the challenge in the advent calendar was to vote for and against features).
Anyway... it was top of the list, and fairly simple to do, so here it is:
fetcheveryone.com/training-analysis-bestmonth.php
There's a permanent link to it under Train > Summary & Analysis. My highest mileage month was 130.59 miles, back in July 2007. Giddy times. In 2019, my top month made it to 35th place. I hope to get a bit higher this year, calves allowing.
Now that Christmas is out of the way, I'm aiming to rattle through more of these requests, so make sure you get your votes in, to make sure your hopefuls are under my nose

Quite interesting to see - even though I see them all the time, having it explicitly ranked brings it home.boyband6666
One to discuss, for feature requests, have you considered a 'bounty' feature? So if there is something someone desperately wants, and they're prepared to put money behind getting it done (whether token amounts, or real amounts), then they can support the site, and make it better for all? It wouldn't come up very often, but might be a way of diversifying revenue, and also letting people draw attention to any features they desperately want (after all a vote doesn't capture strength of feeling)8:01pm, 7th Jan 2020 -
Great feature. Shame that my highest month in 2019 still only ranks at 55Seratonin8:10pm, 7th Jan 2020

There Are Some Really Sexy Girls On Fetch
Comments
FWIW, my cadence when racing 5k or 10k is quite consistently 180, but on training runs it tends to be a little lower. I'd be quite entertained by a pace/cadence curve.
That would make you think that fetch was halving the cadence number, but on looking in the TCX file from Garmin there's loads of fields in the form 85
So actually looks like the watch, GC and
stravaare all doubling the raw data !{ns3:RunCadence}85{/ns3:RunCadence}
with angled rather than curly brackets
Cool data though, so 'hell, yeah!'
It is possible to create mathematical models that demonstrate that it is most efficient to increase both stride length and cadence as pace increases. However, mathematical models are not the same as real people. For most individuals, an attempt to consciously increase cadence to a rate that feels unnatural usually results in loss of efficiency at first. However runners who have a natural cadence less than 160 (steps/min) at 5K race pace, will usually improve efficiency over a period of time if they make an effort to increase their cadence. The majority of well trained runners have a cadence around 180-190 at 5K pace. Many elites increase their cadence to around 200 steps/min in the final l lap of a 5000m track event.
Cadence also tends to increase if you lose leg muscle power, because stride length decreases as muscle power decreases. Cadence must increase to maintain a specified pace As my leg muscle power has decreased with age, my cadence has increased. Even when jogging, my cadence is around 180. At 5K pace, my cadence exceeds 200.
My cadence is the opposite - high cadence (85-90) when I am running slower, reduced cadence (78-82) when I am running quicker
That suggests to me that I am exerting more leg power the quicker I run.
However, I am well known for speeding up during races, so the higher starting cadence (= shorter strides) could well be my way of holding back my pace initially. I feel that those earlier shorter strides are preserving energy for the later quick racing, whilst at the same time enabling me to run at a reasonable speed without over exerting myself.
Not true! Pace is a function of cadence and stride length. I can keep the same cadence and go faster or slower.
