This is probably obvious, but I am a bit confused. I feel like it would be helpful for me to focus on my cadence a bit to try avoid dropping into my old 'jogging' pace that feels natural but doesn't really 'spring'.
I know the figure of 180 is bandied around but accept I may not be up to that. However, is that 180 (or whatever other figure is quoted) referring to both feet hitting the ground (ie a stride consists of of one left foot step and one right foot step) or do you count each time either foot hits the ground? (ie a step = a stride, whether left or right?). Some of the metronome apps I've looked at only go up to 90.
Also, am I right in thinking that the only run trackers that measure cadence at present are the more expensive Garmins that link to the footpod?
Thanks.
