Cadence explained
Running cadence is the number of steps taken each minute. There is no single perfect value for every runner, pace, or body type.
Adjust gradually
If a coach recommends a change, small increases of about 3–5% are usually more manageable than chasing a fixed number.
How to use this result
Use the estimate as a practical starting point, then track how you feel and adjust gradually. For medical conditions, pregnancy, medication use, or major training changes, consult a qualified health professional.
