Description
Cadence is a running metronome that does one thing and does it well.
Set your beats per minute, choose a sound, and go.
The beat plays underneath your podcast, audiobook, or music — not instead of it.
Consistent cadence is the fastest route to better running. It builds efficiency, improves performance, and takes the guesswork out of easy gains.
SET YOUR CADENCE FOR ANY SESSION
Zone 2 easy run? Set it low — 160–165 BPM — and lock in a steady, sustainable rhythm you can hold for an hour without drifting.
Tempo or threshold run? Push it to 170–175 and train your body to sustain a faster turnover at controlled effort.
Race pace? Dial in your target cadence and practise holding it. Come race day, the rhythm is already in your legs.
Strides and speed work? Crank it up to 185–195 and match your feet to the beat. Cadence teaches fast turnover as a physical habit, not a number on a watch.
Recovery or cool-down? Drop it low and let the beat slow you down. Runners almost always recover too fast. The metronome won't let you.
WHY CADENCE
Cadence metronome takes the guesswork out of pace. No need to keep looking at your wrist - set the cadence, choose a sound, and let your feet find the beat. A metronome trains rhythm at a muscular level — your legs learn the pattern and hold it without conscious effort. This is how consistent pacing is built.
PLAYS BENEATH YOUR AUDIO
Cadence generates sound on a separate audio channel, so it plays beneath your chosen podcast, audiobook, or playlist. Train your cadence while listening to whatever keeps you moving.
