CADENCE SENSOR

This is a very important part of your training. With a heart rate monitor you keep in check your whole body; it helps to protect the heart. Cadence sensor makes it possible to monitor your undercarriage (which is your legs) and optimize the load on them. For the running stage, there is also a special speed and distance sensor, with which you can monitor the cadence, here meaning the number of steps per minute. It is mounted on one of your running shoes and serves as an alternative to the GPS sensor. It is convenient to use it during training indoors, in gyms, on treadmills where it is impossible to catch satellite signal.

RUNNING TRAINING PLAN

If you are not a former professional athlete and have never run more than 10 km in your life, and there is not much time to prepare for the competition, but you actually want to run a marathon, it is advisable, as I do, to make a running plan for yourself. It is made based on several parameters. It is necessary to know your speed in aerobic and anaerobic modes, the ratio of speed and heart rate, time required for recovery, your general condition and heart rate at different distances, the condition of your legs. It is clear that it is necessary to make training runs, during which the necessary data is collected.
