49.9% L / 50.1% R... Oh how I'd laugh if there was a 2nd referendum and this was the result. There'd be civil war! :-)
Re: ideal cadence, from what I've understood this can be a very personal thing. Sure, the average individual may see their cadence increase as running efficiency improves but I don't think there's anything particularly good or bad about 170 vs 180 vs 190. It could be interesting to monitor any differences over time but I don't think it'll tell you much about deliberately trying to change it.
OK, I lied about the test run. I didn't get round to purchasing any new shoes yesterday and on reflection decided that I might as well wait a few days (hopefully) till I get some news from the MRI scan in case this gives me fresh info to act upon. The doc suggested that one course of action might be some insoles, so it's probably rash to buy new shoes before knowing whether other steps are recommended. Besides, it was a lovely day for another bike ride if you dodged the icy patches.
