About this tool
Cadence is how many steps you take per minute, and it is a handy running-form number. Count your steps for a set number of seconds, enter both figures, and the tool scales the count to a full minute. No wearable is needed for this quick check.
Frequently asked questions
Should I count one foot or both?
Count both feet for this tool, or count one foot over the same time and double the result before entering it.
Will a higher cadence make me faster?
Not on its own. Cadence is a form cue, and speed still comes mainly from fitness and stride length.
