The seems to help, but it is an uncomfortable position for me to hold for very long.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846136358775915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-69099136400388744992012-05-17T12:48:11.678-07:002012-05-17T12:48:11.678-07:00Oops!

I am always looking for new drills. :)Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-82517525694106578002012-05-17T12:04:23.073-07:002012-05-17T12:04:23.073-07:00I'm very interested in your cadence data. as ...I'm very interested in your cadence data. as I mentioned in my last post, I got a foot pod for my Garmin that tracks that. So far, it reports my cadence around 81. What I would like to study is if you run a fixed pace and run half the distance at 80 strides, and the other half at 90 strides, what does the heart rate do. If running economy improves with shorter strides, shouldn't heart rate go down at the higher stride rate?<br /><br />Eventually, I'll work more on my stride rate. I've done it before and it seemed to work until I blamed it for a pulled hamstring.2 Slow 4 Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663226321653510625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-67049850164847866282012-05-17T09:42:24.861-07:002012-05-17T09:42:24.861-07:00that would work if you also are tracking your pace...that would work if you also are tracking your pace...don't want to just end up running faster with that higher cadence!<br /><br />ie. you need some idea of a pace @ cadence you are at now so you can up the cadence at the same pace.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-77941112755412472282012-05-17T08:39:43.249-07:002012-05-17T08:39:43.249-07:00I've been thinking of getting a clip-on metron...I've been thinking of getting a clip-on metronome to help with maintaining a faster and more consistent stride.KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.com
