Cadence -- how important is it?

[bounceswoosh]

Huh. Interesting. I've always thought of myself as muscular and stout with slow twitch muscles (if any!) =P

I am definitely stout...and somewhat muscular (nowadays buried under all the flubber)...but I've always been a slow twitcher (endurance over speed). My cadence has always been embarrassingly slow, even when I was in good shape.

When I got my cyclometer, I purposely avoided any that had a cadence measure...I felt like it would force me to directly confront my slowness.

Thank you, bounceswoosh (your screen name makes me smile, btw) for posting this question 'cause I will definitely put to use the good advice being given here.

Now you all, I say "MORE LIKELY" to have a certain type of muscle type, this is not a perfect science!

Some days I don't think I have any of either type =P
