I'm very curious to know if people run consistently at 180spm at any pace or if it changes depending on pace.
I raced a half marathon and had an exact average of 180spm. (A race photo showed me heel striking too, which I'd like to fix). My easy runs average about 167spm. My vo2max workouts and 5k races are 205spm. Are most people like this too? I know most people don't believe in a perfect cadence and I agree to some degree you run how you run.

I always get a kick out reading your responses. Thanks!
I don't have a lot of wisdom to share, but I'll give you my cadence at different paces:
Easy: 185 SPM (8:30ish pace)
Half Marathon: 190 SPM (7:13 pace)
5K: 197 SPM (6:20 pace)
Hope this helps.
Faster you run the more steps you take per minute.
Slower you run the less steps you take per minute.
