DID YOU KNOW THAT WE OFTEN SING AS WE RUN?
That's not a trick question. For decades now Torch Runners have kept themselves amused by running to a 'Cadence'. Perhaps this came from the military? - who knows.
Cadence is defined as 'the rhythmic flow of sounds or words' and we do it to motivate, to announce our presence as we run and often just to make noise.
The LETR Final Leg has for many years used four standard Torch Run Cadences. Today, I'll present the first one to you.
This one has a twin sister - when we are running through the streets of Berlin, we'll use this version, but when we are outside of Berlin - in the state of Brandenburg, we'll swap out the word Berlin in the second last line for Brandenburg.
There is a full copy of all four standard cadences available to download in the Team Portal as well as images like the one above of the others.
Can you do any better?
If you think you can produce a better cadence that what we are currently using, discuss it with your team leader and if they agree, send it in to Mark, Greg or myself. Maybe something in German - we will be in Germany after all.
Something to think about
