Cadence isn’t just a drill—it’s a core cycling skill. In part 4 of our series, Jennifer shows how to coach cadence in every ride, not only in drill-focused classes. You’ll get longer teaching cues explaining the physiology behind different leg speeds, plus short, punchy cues to sprinkle throughout any ride to help riders stay smooth, efficient, and in control. Making cadence a consistent focus turns occasional skill work into lasting performance gains.Read more…
