These two marathon are also my 2 best performance and with the high average heart rate. So I consider that increase of cadence as an improvement, probably now I should lose a bit of weight to increase the stride length while maintaining the cadence.<BR/><BR/>In my last marathon the stride length was 146-148cm for the first hour, then was always going down, 135 after 2hours, 130 at 2h15 then I finished around 125cm in 2h41 ... that was for sure the fact to be tired, but I'm surprised to see this reduction already from the second hour of the race.Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560211189213650487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-77196678175284357132008-08-14T18:40:00.000+08:002008-08-14T18:40:00.000+08:00We all read in Jack Daniels' book about the 90rpm ...We all read in Jack Daniels' book about the 90rpm as "ideal". In other publications, I read some criticism on this statement because it also depends on the individual style and the height of the runner.<BR/>For sure the best runners have legs spinning much more than us, mortals...<BR/>Therefore I take the 90rpm more as a "guideline" to reach than as my ideal target...by7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02575145053431055482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-64490706134199727192008-08-14T18:14:00.000+08:002008-08-14T18:14:00.000+08:00iT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW WHICH IS MORE EFFI...iT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW WHICH IS MORE EFFICIENT LONG STRIDE OR FASTER TURN OVER?<BR/>coming from a cycle background i followed with great interest how 7 tour De France winner LANCE ARMSTRONG changed from a slow big gear pusher to a smaller gear, fast peddler! he improved greatly both in time trial and in the mountains.HE WENT FROM 85-90 rpm up to 100-110 revs<BR/>Ive heard that for running 90 strides a min works best, what do you think?RICK'S RUNNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836338956751369408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-91251377532973542462008-08-13T15:28:00.000+08:002008-08-13T15:28:00.000+08:00thanks for the comment.Actually I do not run every...thanks for the comment.<BR/>Actually I do not run every day on that dirt road. Because of the torrential rain this Summer, I had to run mostly on concrete/black top while I am in Dongguan, while I ALWAYS run on black top if I am in Hong Kong. I did a similar chart for the cadence (to be published tomorrow) and it shows a steady increment over time. So it seems that I am running with shorter stride at higher cadence, overall with higher speed. But I am curious to see what's happen when the temperature/humidity drops to a more reasonable level...by7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02575145053431055482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-16677422573579247152008-08-13T14:38:00.000+08:002008-08-13T14:38:00.000+08:00Hi,i think i read that you found a new route throu...Hi,<BR/>i think i read that you found a new route through the countryside a couple of months ago, is this on a uneven dirt path if so this could explain your shorter stride but at the same time increase in fitness?RICK'S RUNNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836338956751369408noreply@blogger.com
