Oh, haven't seen that one! Thanks. Will watch it. I assume hip stability, bum tucked, shoulders back!

There is a bit more about arms and cadence as well 😁

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

Seems like I must be doing some of that stuff naturally. I just looked at Garmin and, the longer runs included, my cadence seems pretty constant even where pace drops off

Yes, I notice that on my runs also 👍

Interesting how cadence and stride length combine to affect pace

Thanks for sharing this, some of it I remember hearing from a running podcast. The cadence things is interesting I definitely feel plodding when I'm tired 😂

Very instructive, thank you, I didn’t realise the swing of your arms effects your cadence, but makes sense.....I’m still learning 👍

I've just watched the video. Thanks for posting it, there were tips I hadn't seen before, such as the info on arms and not reducing cadence when you're tired. I can see how that would help.
