Training Comparisions - Cadence

Time to compare last year's winter training to date.
It has felt like struggle this time around to maintain the regime.
A key element of winter training is not actually to get 'fitter' in a sense but to develop cellular adaptations that will encourage getting fitter especially race fitter during early 2014.
These adaptations include the key element of cadence. Getting the legs to move quickly but not under stress loading leads to mitochondrial function improvements.
I did think that my average cadence was suffering this year but the comparisions tables show that it is holding up.

 
The lines from 2012 and this year are closely matched.
