Most runners think speed comes from taking longer strides.

In reality, overstriding is one of the biggest things that can slow you down and increase your risk of injury.

A strong cadence helps you run more efficiently by keeping your feet landing closer to your body, reducing braking forces, and improving rhythm and momentum.

Instead of trying to “reach” with every step, focus on quick, controlled turnover. 

Small improvements in cadence can lead to smoother runs, better endurance, and faster race times over the long haul.

Here’s a simple tip to try on your next run:

✅ Relax your shoulders
✅ Keep your steps light
✅ Focus on quick feet, not giant strides
✅ Let speed come naturally from efficiency

Remember, efficient runners are usually faster runners.
