1. Your ideal cadence tends to increase as your power does. If you're putting out over 323 watts at FTP, you cadence looks about right. If you're not, actively try a lower cadence to improve your efficiency.

2. Higher cadence favors reliance on your cardiovascular system. You can train your cardiovascular system by raising your cadence and decreasing torque

3. Lower cadence relies more on your muscular system. You can train your muscular system by lowering your cadence and increasing torque.
