Free Speed?!?

When I began running longer distances, I learned that elite distance runners had a cadence of 90-95 foot-strikes/minute.  Since I came from a sprinting background, leg turnover wasn't an issue, but it was a challenge for me to keep my cadence at ~90 for longer runs.  It took practice, but I after a while, I was able to adapt ~90 strides per minute as a comfortable, relaxing running cadence.  But, at certain times of the year, I tried to bump that number up a little bit.

Four Running PRs!!

Megan Weldon, Joe Chambers, Ann Halenkamp, and Brad Twigg, all set PRs this weekend. 

Megan completed the Twin Cities marathon in 3:50:46, which was a 19 minute PR!  This was an impressive effort since Megan's most recent long run (13.1 miles) was two weeks prior at Branson 70.3.
