What are cadences in the army?

Cadence is defined as the beat, time, or measure of rhythmical motion or activity. It has been used in the military since the Revolutionary War, as they needed to ready their muskets and fire together. Now the Army uses cadence to keep Soldiers stepping in time while marching or running in formation.

What is normal cadence?

The average runner will have a cadence of 150 to 170 SPM (Steps Per Minute), while the fastest long-distance runners are up in the 180 to 200 SPM range. It’s worth noting that these numbers are typically maintained in shorter-distance endurance races and full marathons.
