    My normal running cadence is about 155-160, around 150 on E runs. I noticed this and noticed as my overall sprint speed increased, my normal cadence went up. For today I told myself I would focus fully on stide rate and went for a 30 minute comfy progression run. I tried to keep 180(Went 8:4x,7:5x,7:3x,6:48.) and it hurt so much but I kept doing it. At the end my legs felt super light and I landed a new 100m pr on my last strider(13.7) previous pr was (13.9-14.1.) There has to be a correlation to this. I plan on going 180 on all my runs now. Is there any research for this?

    If it works, keep it up. Not sure about sprint speed specifically but I think a quicker cadence helped my running as a whole. And the fact that it "hurt so much" will go away with repetition and soon it will feel natural. I'm not sure I could lope around at

I'm not sure I could lope around at 160 strides per minute any more without it feeling just as unnatural as the quicker cadence felt initially.

    Not sure why it cut the last part out.
