Vinton Woods Loop - 9 miles, averaged 7:40. Sluggish to start, snappyish at the finish. 

Wore my cadence sensor for the first time since I got it. It's not a necessary device, but I'm pretty tone deaf so other methods of measuring cadence are difficult. My average was 93 strides per minute or 186 steps per minute. I've had other runners tell me mine is high. I guess it is for moving at an easy pace. Seems to be one aspect keeping injuries down though.

i used to listen to a metronome -- it was maddening. i don't think i ever went over 170. i'm a loper.

Yeah I tried that but then it had different options for...somethings. Time signatures? I'm guessing that you are lower to the ground and the fact that you have overdeveloped knee muscles explain your results. But then again I worry about steps per minute and carry my mileage out to two decimals places.

I like your dedication. I'm actually jealous of it. I think I'm kind of a loper too. Pictures rarely show my feet of the ground...mostly dragging on the concrete.
