Run Workout:

Metronome Running

In today’s workout, I want you to use a metronome. But not just any metronome!

Your workout: Select a day where you will be running at a consistent, mellow-ish pace. Run with your beat set to 170-180 bpm.

Using a metronome is a wonderful tool for dialing in an appropriate cadence. And this is a vital step to making running form stronger and more compact. Typically we see folks with over-striding patterns, and adjusting cadence is a simple remedy to bring things into a more efficient and optimal place.
