🏃♂️ Why Cadence Training?
Cadence training — increasing your step rate while maintaining a steady pace — is one of the most powerful ways to become a more efficient, resilient, and faster runner — whilst minimising the risk of injury.
Cadence Trainer makes it simple to get started, stay consistent, and see real progress. Whether you’re new to running or refining your form, customisable audio beat cues help you stay in sync and train smarter — not harder.
🏅 Benefits of Higher Cadence
✅ Improved Running Efficiency
A higher cadence brings your foot strike closer to your center of mass, reducing overstriding and minimizing vertical bounce. This leads to a smoother, more energy-efficient stride. Cadence Trainer helps you maintain that rhythm with consistent audio feedback.
✅ Reduced Risk of Injury
Landing under your hips instead of ahead of your body reduces impact on your knees, ankles, and hips. This softer landing decreases the likelihood of injuries linked to overstriding. Use Cadence Trainer to reinforce this healthier running form.
✅ Long-Term Speed Gains
Build faster turnover and running economy for sustainable speed improvements and more efficient running.
✅ Greater Muscle Endurance
High-cadence running trains your neuromuscular system to handle quicker cycles, building fatigue resistance and coordination. The app’s audio cues keep you on track even during longer runs.
✅ Better Running Economy
A shorter stride and quicker turnover reduce ground contact time, helping you expend less energy for the same pace. Cadence Trainer supports this by keeping your step rate dialed in.
- A steady, optimized stride rate reduces overstriding, improves pacing, and keeps you light on your feet. Train smarter — not just harder — and feel the difference with Cadence Trainer.
