    Cadence

    9:40 is per mile. Thanks for ans. my question, I thought 80 was the 2 feet conversion. Glad I asked, thought I was abnormaly slow as far as cadence. 160 is comfortable for me, I find I can increase speed by driving my core forward.

    Cadence

    According to ismoothrun my cadence this morning was 80 spm max 93. Is that to slow or should I multiply it by 2x. Or maybe I'm just a slow bf runner, avg pace 9:40. :(
