Varies dependent upon effort. I don't just sit in Z1/Z2 at 100rpms, I get tired more quickly doing that.
When I'm doing intervals my cadence is high. Looking back, I'll average around 90-100 when I'm putting myself in the hurt locker for 5-20 minute periods. I don't look at cadence, I focus on what kind of gear I can push that produces the most power and look at the cadence numbers later.

not a couple of days. it felt like it was inside my legs in front of my calf (which was having major spasms as well) My runner friend told me they were shin splints and that he gets them every now and then after a big effort after not running for a while. i don't know the terms you stated or what they mean but I know it hurt. i learned some stretching to help them and to help me in the future. thanks for the responses
