It's something I've been wondering about all winter as I've started to get into skimo, coming from a running background, and yours is the only site I've found that has any discussion of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874541367337995440.post-11929012493128656222012-11-24T03:35:11.882-08:002012-11-24T03:35:11.882-08:00Alex, as a new follower of the blog I just wanted ...Alex, as a new follower of the blog I just wanted to say thanks for providing such a repository of detailed info and training beta.<br />Cheers from NorwayKajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375721564933079543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874541367337995440.post-27412359341197759182012-02-05T22:41:14.254-08:002012-02-05T22:41:14.254-08:00Hi Alex, I agree with you almost on all of it and ...Hi Alex, I agree with you almost on all of it and thanks for sharing your experience but I believe you made a mistake since such a statement/assumption is simply not true.<br /><br />I mean it is true as many times as it is not: "If a racer takes more steps per minute than another (even if the other has a longer stride) the racer with the higher cadence wins."<br /><br />I think it is safe to say that Reiner goes lower cadence than most of us yet he still wins. It's not because we slow down sooner but simply he covers certain distance in less time and not due to higher cadence.<br /><br />I support the opinion that improving one's cadence will improve his performance but it merely means he will beat the "sluggish" guy.<br /><br />Cadence is a skill and a tool thus can be improved upon and used. The wider the range of cadence one has the easier it is for him to adapt to various situations.Stanohttp://www.skintrack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874541367337995440.post-58262692438651166012012-01-05T14:13:08.604-08:002012-01-05T14:13:08.604-08:00The higher cadence was definitely something I was ...The higher cadence was definitely something I was working on back when training was forefront. However, a suggestion that might be a bit more fun that listening to a metronome is to put tunes on that are in that 120bpm zone (even some of your faves that come in at 60bpm will work). <br /><br />Snipe the free download from beatunes.com that'll automatically determine the bpm of your intunes library, and voila! Build playlists with the bpm you're looking for. Free and way more fun than a metronome. <br />Might I suggest DJ Champion's "Keep on Riding" to get the cadence up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
