Hi, Cadence is just the amount of times your feet land on the ground (steps) in a one minute time frame. It is just the way leg turnover is measured in the running world. Very similar to how RPM measures a cyclists pedals turnover every minute. Originally cadence comes from the music world and measures Beats Per Minute and is defined in the dictionary as " the beat, time, or measure of rhythmical motion or activity" or "a regular and repeated pattern of activity" and therefore it is used when describing your running "rhythym"
Mo has the slowest or second slowest cadence amongst top professional runners. In my analysis, I found out it was 170 during his marathons. I don't know how you counted 190 ... it must be at the end of a 5k or 10k race. You better check again in slow motion. Anyhow, a good cadence is anywhere from 170 to 200.
Correct, that was actually the observation that I made in the video. During his track event he had a high cadence but when he retired and went to half marathons and marathons, he dropped his cadence to low 170's as you can see and count in the slo mo section of th video. It is quite suprising and not a common thing for people to go in that direction. Thanks for the comment
Some 1 define Cadence, please 🙏, 😢😢this is almost sounding like language barrier 😢

It depends on pace. Stride length and frequency will change throughout a race. It ain't rocket science
Seriously ? Mo Farrh ?>.......
