Most people that need to improve their cadence are probably riders like me. I've only got about 1400 miles in since I started cycling in April. I still need to put more base miles in, before worrying too much about interval training. But I can work on my cadence. So that when I do have enough base miles in to start HIIT's, I'll also have the fitness needed to do them correctly. A higher cadence should help your fitness level if you're as inexperienced as I am.
