Incline walk
Session / Beginner / 25–40 min
Treadmill / Drill / Beginner
Cadence drill
Running at the same speed with a few more, shorter steps. A higher step rate usually means a softer landing under the body and less load on the knees.
- Dose
- 5 × 1 min
- Rest
- 1 min easy
How to do it
- At an easy pace, count your steps for 30 s and double it: that is your cadence.
- Keep the same speed and add 5 % more steps per minute; a metronome app helps.
- Run 1 min at the new cadence, 1 min normal, five times.
Tips
- Same speed, shorter and quicker steps.
- Listen: the landing should get quieter.
