I am trying to figure out how to improve running uphill (and down), both faster and more economical.

What I understood so far is that low cadence will demand more muscle power while high cadence more “heart” power. I also read here and there that 90 spm might be the magic number.

When I check the numbers on my last 10 weeks runs, I run with high cadence (higher than 90).

Any recommendations or word of advice from more experience runners on running uphill?

@ruthpozuelo

I'm curious about your numbers.

Could the 90 spm you mention be cadence (so half your spm?)

[ruthpozuelo@mastodon.social]

@folfdk Yes, sorry. I think they meant 180.
