180 Bpm.
This is kind of a magic number.
For some of us that like to run by numbers, it is the ideal cadence.
Not For the heart, for the strides.
We could argue this is a good tempo for music as well, some would find it a little fast.

The logic behind the 180 steps/minute is the same that behind the fore foot striking.
Lots of small steps, way easier to handle the concussions. Be light on your feet, run like a ninja.
Low effort, high cadence, low strain. A little bit like a high gear on a bike.
A good GPS watch, like the Forerunner 220 will give your cadence based on your arm swings, or you can use a foot pod, or a good song. Eventually, it will just feel natural.
And yes, 180, for the heart, is likely too much.
But that's another story.
