    Honestly, cadence and stride length are pretty individual depending on how your body is made. The important things to remember for efficient technique and keeping yourself injury-free (not completely, injuries happen to everyone) is avoiding heel-striking as this exerts braking force which slows you down and puts pressure on your knees, and landing midfoot instead, which is better for your joints and gives you better forward drive. Keep your core strong, shoulders relaxed, look ahead and focus on nice, even breathing. Oh, and make sure your arms swing forwards and backwards, not across your body which can destabilise everything.

      Strength training, especially with hip flexors and hamstrings dropped my 800 from a 2:08 to a 1:58 in a year. And I'm a high school sophomore. My dad is big into cadence, but my personal belief is that it will automatically improve as you get stronger and more experienced. Cadence also changes based on how tall you are and how much endurance you have.

    I run a 2:05 at the moment, I've been using the stride out technique since about 2:40's in 8th grade. The only thing that is getting me faster is the strategy in the actual 800 meter during the race. For my first 3 years I tried to have my laps be the same time, now I go about a 59-1:00 first lap and try to get the second one within 2 second of the first. The biggest thing with that is my anaroebic capacity that's all the 800 is. Another big thing is the mindset of the runner that has everything to do with the runner dropping time.

      Seth Breitweser interesting. I’m a 2:10 sophomore (indoor season) but didn’t feel like that was my fastest. Now that it’s outdoor, I’m trying to figure out how to get as close to 2 as possible. Will try this video strategy out, work on speed (have not worked on any major speed work), and increase my mileage

    • @jamesmonto9562
      @jamesmonto9562 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I actually tried a predictor 800m and my foreseen time was a 2:06. (Predictor: Race Pace 600m, 30s Rest, Race Pace 200m). If you’re a 2:10 8th grader, you’re on pace for state. Anyway, you’re like my friend, he was a 2:10 8th grade and made it to 2:08. His predicted time was 2:00 flat, but he hasn’t been able to get there. To break your time, I can’t really say. I don’t know if you’re more of a sprinter (fast 400m like a 54) or if you’re built more like a distance runner with speed. What most people tell me is to try different methods and see which works best. For example, getting out fast and then just coming a few seconds slower for the next lap. (58s/400m+63s/400m=2:01s) Others say sprint the 600m and just make it home after the 200. Id say that’s probably the way to go but that last 200 will feel like hell. Anyway It’s already the end of the season so I don’t know if you can try different methods. I’d recommend make sure you have good mid-distance spikes. You should be on your toes the whole or the majority of the race. Make sure to always get out fast in the beginning. If you don’t, you have to work twice as hard. I don’t know what your competition is but if you know they’re faster than you, stick with them for the entire race and at the end, kick and pass them. Make sure you’re also pumping your arms. Whenever your legs start to die, if you don’t move your arms, you’ll slow down dramatically. When you finish the 400, there’s no time to rest. So if you feel like you’re resting/chilling, make sure to go because the race will be gone in a blink of an eye.

    • @jamesmonto9562
      @jamesmonto9562 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, when you’re getting out, you’re just ensuring your place in the race. Don’t get out too fast because you’ll start to die. The 3rd 200m is key, so that’s when you need to really work. Also, you would need to work your 400m time. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/HSTrack/comments/2shc43/racing_strategy_a_comprehensive_guide_800m/ Also check this thread. He explains it good.

    I was able to drastically improve my time through running cross country in the fall. During 8th grade I hit about 2:15 which is a little above average. I was running huge negatives. My first lap was usually 1:01-1:03 and droppes in the 2nd. Doing distance training between 8th and 9th pushed me 2:07 and I did very well in the state track meet. As a freshman we were hitting 40-45 miles a week and damn did that do me some good. I ran a 2:01 in track season and finished 3rd at district as a freshman. Now as a senior my PR is 1:51 My best strategy in the race was matching peoples strides. I'm about 6'3" and try to match the shorter runners cadence. It is able to district from my fatigue and allows me to keep my pace well.

    As a beginner runner, running for enjoyment and not competition, I've found cadence really useful. Using the various apps I use (Fitbit, runkeeper), I've tracked how many steps per minute I've been doing during my runs, and then choosing music with a slightly faster bpm. So if my last run had a steps per minute of 160, then my next run I might choose music that averages around the 165bpm mark. It increases my cadence, and increases my pace.
    There are programs out there that can calculate your music files' bpm, or you can do it manually using a tap-tempo metronome.
    I've found this really useful to use on all my runs - even on slower recovery runs, if I choose slower music, it gets me used to running with the beat, so when I go faster I'm constantly listening for that beat, and matching my cadence to it

  • @frequemag
    @frequemag 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for the video. Showed it to my athletes. I might add that increasing your cadence doesn't necessarily mean increasing your speed. Remember, you are in the business of covering the most distance in the shortest amount of time. Don't sacrifice a beautiful long stride in the name of cadence; learn to take that long stride faster not shorter. The key to good increased cadence is turnover. One part of cadence that no one ever talks about is oxygen intake. If you are moving at a faster cadence then you are using more oxygen. Your oxygen supply chain needs to be increased as well when you increase cadence. Do breathing exercises and drills. I have my girls hold their breath while doing suicides, it has increased their lung capacity immensely allowing for increased cadence for longer sustained distances without compromising stride.

    I know this video has been up for a year. The last time I ran an 800m race was back in 1988. When I ran, I lengthened my stride in the straights and increased cadence slightly through the turns. I was 6 ft tall. I always increased my lead in the straights. The advice in the video seems more for mile runners or perhaps female 800m runners. For high school runners, they need to find the right combination of stride length and cadence to get near or under 1:50 (boys; I don't know times for girls). My best time was 1:48.

Last race he went 75..72 800. He dies hard between 400 n 550 then has second wind pulls up to a tremendous 32 second finishing 200. Hates 3 and 4 mile runs loses focus. He can go 2.5 than starts shuffling. He also plays in the h.s. band he will understand cadence on a metronome. Gonna try him on some pace awareness with this. His goal is to go 205 before he graduates in 15 months. Not fast, but its a goal. Can I get him there? I was a 2:00 flat 800, .50 400. Trying to help him out... he does not get enough attention with 70 kids on the track team and 3 coaches. I gave him a strategy to stay behind the other runners on the backstrech to break a 20 mph wind. He passed the entire field on the last 250 of the slow heat and won in 226. His coach wants him to run from the front but when he does he cant break 235. Whos right? Whats up. I just bought him some 800 spikes must before his last meet. He loves them...would that take ten seconds off a p.r.? Also, no upper body strength. Would weight work help his leg speed and form and endurance or running bleachers or hill work.

      The biggest thing for me in 8th grade were two things. Keep your cadence and run your own race. The first one is basic but very difficult too. If you can keep that “1 2 3 4” count in your head the whole race, your bound to run faster times and be more consistent. The second one is kinda tricky. In 8th grade I would always pace myself off of the guy next to me or infront of me. In longer distances this is useful, but the shorter the distance I’ve found that it is best to run your own race instead of trying to pace. 2 minutes and 30 seconds is not enough time to make pacing useful. Keep your own cadence and if you think you can pass someone, do it! Good luck!

    • @TheRunExperience
      @TheRunExperience  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cadence can be adjusted depending on what you're focusing on, on that training day. The biggest thing to adjust as the terrain changes will be your stride length. As far as the "right" cadence, we tend to recommend 85-90 as a jumpoff point and then adjusting from there. But this is not a hard recommendation by any means, as we don't know your running.

    • @atakanorgan3386
      @atakanorgan3386 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Either you went out too fast or you don't have enough endurance to stop decelerating so much. 25 sec difference in 800 is beyond ridiculous. To break 2:40 try 1:13-1:16 come back 1:22-1:25 the differential should be 9 second or less. When you improve the differential will be 6 secs or less.

    Is it true the ideal cadence to run easily depends on the persons length as well? I'm 1,86m and try to run 180spm. Would 170 or 175 be more suitable?

    • @Vermonstered
      @Vermonstered 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ebbulk There is a lot that goes into ideal cadence. Part of it is leg length, proprtion to your total height, stride length, where on your foot you land and target pace. Just look at Olympic athletes on the men and women's side you'll see cadences of 180 to 250+ in the short running events.
      That said what this video is trying to push is downright wrong. If your cardiovascular limit is say 3 minute 800m, upping your cadence and changing nothing else will have you burn out long before the finish as you're moving the same mass now faster.
      The basic advice is shoot for about 180ish and let your body tell you if it likes longer strides or faster steps. Just keep in mind that longer strides will require more hip and ankle mobility as you're extending the back leg further back with more power.

    • @ebbulk

    • @Vermonstered
      @Vermonstered 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +ebbulk - If you're just beginning, best to just shoot for 180 or there abouts. If it's 175 or 185 you end up at that's no big deal. Most trained runners will run at roughly similar cadences for any non-sprint distance. Be it a 5k or an ultra-marathon. Sprint distances will have you at faster cadences primarily due less emphasis on running energy economy (your aerobic system) and more about raw power. Olympic champions like Mo Farah are still within 0-15 spm when changing from their 3000m race to their marathon pace. In the end there's a fairly narrow cadence range that works for an individual with proper form and that won't change that much even if we're talking a 400m race or a ultra-marathon.
      What most beginning runners encounter is they try and transfer over their walking gait over to their running gait. What I mean by this is when you walk your front foot lands on its heel well in front of the body's center of gravity, many times with a very straight front knee. Trying to transfer this or any version similar to this to running usually leaves you more prone to injury and usually is indicated by a low(er) cadence. By forcing yourself to go to a more typical running cadence (180+) you teach your body to shorten up its stride which will usually help to have the front foot land just in front the body's center of gravity with more bend to the knee to help absorb impact. As a beginner, know that general running form is standing tall and literally falling forward from the ankles and your feet/legs are just there to catch you from falling. The more your lean forward (not at the hips but ankles) the more forward your center of gravity and the faster your pace due to now increasing your stride length - not increasing your cadence.
      +Oak Strength - High cadence work has it's place but arbitrarily increasing it by 20 or 30 just isn't that important for most runners. Primarily because, as you said, "as the cadence gets faster, she just goes faster." So this becomes more speed work rather than cadence drills unless the plan really is for her to hold these cadences for the entire 800m and would require the runner to shorten their stride if purely about cadence. Additionally she will likely unknowingly change her foot strike to more of a sprint stride (more on the forefoot) to accommodate the arbitrary increase in cadence and speed as it's really just changing the gait for a shorter race/training distance. Bounding or other low cadence power drills will likely help more in lowering an individual's 800m time, especially in a trained runner. A trained runner will likely found their preferred cadence for the distance but bounding will help increase distance covered every stride.

      @Abby-ls5gs 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      so what you can do is try pacing yourself. It’s easy to practice this by getting some friends to help you. As you are running the 800, have friend A. run a 400 as quick as possible and try to keep up with friend A, and on your 2nd lap have friend B run as fast as they can on the 400. Follow your friends speed, because usually a person runs 400 faster than 800.this is a great drill for you and your friends

    long stride and good form is way better and more efficient for 800 bro. If you have high cadence its basically sprinting for you at 800m speed and will tire you out more quickly. Look at all the top 800m runners all long ass strides. I think rudisha even has a cadence lower than 180 on his 800m races

      cadence is a debate that certainly fires runners up! We appreciate you chiming into the discussion as well. Keep in mind this video is angled towards the 800m on the track and not a general discussion on cadence (we have plenty of those already). You're correct that you can and should be running slow with a higher cadence. 180/90 is not at all a bad number to shoot for but we like to think of it as a range people run in depending on the specifics of your running goals and event.
