I have the same problem. When I increase cadence my HR increases and then I have to walk. Any suggestions

@landwhale953 21 күн бұрын

Maybe focus on the bigger picture, rather than the priority of solely staying in zone 2. James is describing technique improvement which has a long term benefit to your running efficiency. Switch the hr monitor off whilst you are working on technique until it becomes second nature. You will find by the time you've adapted to increasing heel lift and a higher cadence that your perceived effort will drift back into zone 2. It may take a month or two to get there depending on your weekly mileage but the long term benefits of enhanced run mechanics and efficiency gains are worth the time spent.

@Kelly_Ben 20 күн бұрын

I give myself the gift of 1-2 runs a week with no HR monitoring. Pushing yourself is how you run faster, once you've built a decent base. Worrying about HR during those runs would only negate the purpose of the run. On my zone 2, I focus on that. Tempo/ strides focus is on speed, no HR. Hills are on strength and technique, no HR. Focus on the purpose of each run, and you'll make progress. Best wishes!

James, as always your videos make a lot of sense. Pendulum analogy is so easy to understand. I found your video link in my email. One area I struggle with is when I’m trying to run in Zone 3 or Zone 2, I find myself forcing to drag my feet to keep that HR low. How can I keep a low heart rate when trying to pick my feet higher.

What if you have >180 cadence but very low knee drive? A fast shuffle... Should you work on lifting the knee in this case?

@user-cb6nn5jk1i 11 күн бұрын

The physics part is correct but I believe the form is still a bit off - the tell is the landing on the tip of the foot, missing proper ankle dorsiflexion to land mid foot (the shin will cry ...), thus missing out the running efficiency from energy store/release of plantar facia. (I believe it's also not landing straight below. The little angle could still cause injury in the long run.) The "butt kick" should be under, not behind.

@chrislaf2011 21 күн бұрын

An interesting and well explained video. I assume someone has done very detailed research on this. Presumably there is a point where the small amount of extra energy required to lift the lower leg is exceeded by the saving in energy required by the (now shorter) leg pendulum swing. So horizontal progress is gained for less energy expenditure. Would that represent the "sweet spot" you mention?

@NickKeutzer 20 күн бұрын

Thanks for putting this video together, James! You explain the leg mechanics better than most videos I have seen. One question I can't find an answer to: is there any correlation between an individual's height and their ideal cadence? I am 6' 3" and really struggle to get my cadence much above 170. Do longer legs mechanically affect the amount of steps per minute that are possible/feasible?

@JamesDunne 20 күн бұрын

Thank you, Nick 🙏 I'm 6'6" so I totally understand this question! Typically height, and leg length in particular does have the effect on cadence you might imagine, but not overly dramatically. Just a few strides per minute. For me, what matters more is what happens to your baseline cadence two thirds into a long run when your legs start to feel tired. Regardless of what your individual baseline cadence at long run pace is, I don't want to see it drop with fatigue.

@kevincox9960 21 күн бұрын

At 6'01" ~ 185cm, long legs, my runs average cadence 160 any more than that I am racing! I struggle with the idea cadence should be this or that. A short person (short pendulum) a 170-180 cadence makes sense. I do agree with raising your leg higher makes a big difference but it takes practice. Great video as usual!

@AG-hw1uz 19 күн бұрын

With focus i can run 170 cadence at easy pace as slow as 6:30min/km so 10+min/mile and i am 189cm. It just takes practice and time i guess

@kevincox9960 19 күн бұрын

@@AG-hw1uz just checked my run from this morning. It included sprints but the average was 160 cadence with 9:40min/mile on the rest/recovery portions. The series 15sec sprints were about 188 cadence with 5:53min/mile. I will try to focus a bit more. Thanks.

@AG-hw1uz 19 күн бұрын

No problem i am also still figuring it out. Just don't try and jump all the way to 180 maybe just start with trying to stay around 165 because i can feel awkward at the start.

@PatrickWoerner 18 күн бұрын

A nice and easy tip I figured out: listen to music with your desired cadence as bom and don't hop too high too soon! If you're running at 160, try 165 or 170. After a while it will feel more natural. A year ago my cadence was the same as yours, now its in the high 160s, when racing 5k/10k or doing intervals, it's more in the low 170s.

Great video. I think problem is people like the Lynda example also always told you don’t want any vertical oscillation as well so they end up sucked to the ground and can’t make use of their elastic system to spring them up AND forward effortlessly with longer stride length as a natural consequence. So only option is that long pendulum to drag them forward and get the stride length which as you say, ends up massively overworking the big muscles.

Abd heel strikers cannot understand fore foot strikers. It's not about what part of the foot contacts the ground first anyway. It's about where your centre of gravity is at the moment of impact. If COG is behind the impact, you are over striding. If not, then you are not over striding!!
