While pros do a lot of both high- and low-cadence work, we talk with one of the top experts in the world on cadence, Dr. Ernst Hansen, about why the science isn’t so clear.
Runners can also benefit from faster intervals with short recoveries. This Aerobic 200s track running workout is short and punchy.
