What are the ways to reach the optimal running cadence (180 steps per minute)? I use a metronome app on my iPhone to set my cadence pace, and turn it off once I've reached it. |

Does shortening stride length (and running for a longer time) require the same effort as a longer stride (for a shorter time)? @IvoFlipse "a couple of steps per minute" -- that's exactly what I was thinking. |

Does shortening stride length (and running for a longer time) require the same effort as a longer stride (for a shorter time)? Sancho has the answer. 180 BPM is ideal. You will probably find it awkward at first, but typically after you get going, you might even find your cadence naturally going a little bit faster. Ivo's comment about slight differences needs to be tempered a little bit when you consider that the 180 BPM is going to be related to your breathing rhythms and your heartbeat, as the body likes to keep everything in sync. People may vary in these areas but for experienced runners who have tuned their body like a well-oiled machine, it's going to be pretty standard. |

Is running while overweight bad for your knees? Not running on your knees is bad for your weight. |

Knees are sore when running for the first 10 minutes but fine after? FYI, my own knee problems actually prevent me from doing squats unless they're against a wall with no weight. They may help prevent knee problems, but for those with knee problems, squats with free weights might not be an option. |

Need to run every day - best way to stop? If the choice is between taking anti-depressants or running, obviously running is the better choice! Me, I have to do both. Consider yourself lucky. |

Get rid of running shoe stank? Merrell specifically market their "Barefoot" line of minimal shoes as being machine washable. They are also pre-loaded with anti-microbial treatment. |
