Should cadence decrease as a run progresses?
Should cadence decrease as a run progresses?
If it's a race of 200 to 800m yes. Otherwise no, if you are slowing down, you probably started too fast.
Worrying about cadence is over thinking it.
No, that is a sign of fatigue.
Might not be fatigue if your stride opens up as you warm up. Say I intentionally start my runs with very short, quick steps to reduce impact. Then as I go I settle into more efficient, longer strides. What would be the problem there?
Don't we all do that? But what is really happening is that both stride rate and stride length are (usually) increasing. But why worry? There are more important considerations, such as "am I going to hard too soon" because if you warm up gradually, you can get faster and more efficient as the run progresses and you can continue this process for years.
