If You Aren’t Doing Cadence Training, This Is Your Sign to Start

We know that cadence training has a lot of potential benefits for your cycling. For example, spinning at a high cadence may help you stay with a pack on a group ride or in a race, or get up to speed in a smoother, more efficient way. On the other hand, pedaling at a low cadence—putting out more power with fewer pedal strokes—can help you win a sprint or get back into a group when you’ve fallen behind. And both can help you crush climbs. But how much do you really need to train your cadence? You’re already doing interval workouts and long rides during the week, so where should cadence work fit in? We talked to two coaches about the best ways to boost your high and low cadence, and how to schedule cadence training for major payoffs on the road.
