i’m only about 5’9 -5’10 and have a cadence of 170 @5k race pace ~5:20/mile so i’m imagining i’m over striding a decent bit, easy runs i have a cadence of 165-170 weirdly enough
how do i fix this and how much faster would i be without overstriding/ heavy and low cadence
i also have very loud footsteps so i imagine that just compounds
Bump

Who told you your stride was too long? You're neither elite nor hobbyjogger, so how can 170 spm be too low?
I am typically at 176-178 spm around 5min pace…and I don’t think I am over striding. My foot landing feels natural and where it should be for my running.
180spm+ at race pace is just a number. Plenty of 180spm people plodding along at 8:30 min pace come race day.
unless you are obviously overstriding, I would not worry about it =)
i am sure you have higher cadence at paces faster than 5:20.
