🚨 “Cadence isn’t a magic number… and here’s why ⚡
Let’s break down the half-marathon world record holder Jacob Kiplimo 🏃💨

🔍 First 5K split: 187 steps/min
🔍 Mid-race: 194 steps/min
🔍 Final sprint: 200 steps/min

Here’s the truth 👇

Cadence is not a static variable.

In this scenario, a lot of it is influenced by the pace.

As Kiplimo sped up, his cadence naturally increased.

📌 Key takeaway: Stop copying someone else’s “perfect” cadence.
Your stride should adapt to your speed, body, and situation.
