Ok so been riding for awhile now and was using my old garmin forerunner 205 to log my rides which had very limit data. I recently changed to a garmin edge 810. I had been until recently using my average speed as a guide to how well my ride was going. The last couple rides i have made a point of trying to spin the gears and keep an average cadence of 90rpm. Just by doing this the climbs feel easier and my average speed has increased by approx. 1-2 mph and average heart rate dropped slightly. Defiantly will be using cadence as a training tool from now on!
