Both-foot counts are scaled to one minute. Higher is not automatically better.

How to use it

Count landings for 15–60 seconds on a safe, flat section, then state whether you counted both feet or one foot.

Cadence changes with pace, terrain, fatigue, and the runner. A higher number is not automatically better.

Stop exercising if you have pain, dizziness, or unusual breathlessness.
