This past weekend I did a Sprint Tri and faired pretty well thanks to a solid bike leg. On the run I struggled but I managed to maintain my position. However one thing I noticed during the race in comparison to others is that my cycling cadence was relatively quicker than others while my run cadence to me appears slower than the other competitors. I felt like I was almost plodding along. This season I am focusing on Tri's again but my strength is the bike as I have done a lot of road riding the last few seasons. My cycling cadence is comfortably around 95rpm while my run cadence is on avg. around 145spm. I am 6'2" and 178lbs so a bit on the larger side if that counts for anything.
Anyone have recommendations for how I can approach improving my run cadence and does my cycling cadence have any relation to my running cadence? ie. Should I slow down the cycling RPM's to speed up the legs on the run or do fast legs on the bike transfer to fast legs on the run.?
