Cadence has several meanings. The obvious running connotation has to do with the rhythm, or beat, of your footfalls. To increase your running cadence means you are increasing the turnover of your feet or how many times your foot touches the ground in a given amount of time. For example, the ideal running cadence is said to be between 180-210 per minute, meaning if you count, one foot touches the ground approximately 90 times in one minute.
For Dan, who served in the United States Army, cadence has a tone of togetherness. To march in formation, as a group, is to march ‘in cadence’. When deciding on a name, we liked the idea that as runners, we are in this together. We all share the same love of the sport and when we race, we are out there, together, pursuing our passion.
