Sue Redding, 58, ran the 2025 Marine Corps Marathon in 4:55:54, a personal best that broke five hours, according to Runner's World. She credited cadence training she learned from Christopher McDougall's Born to Run, practicing to the beat of "Rock Lobster" and tracking her cadence on a Garmin watch. The report also cited a 2025 Cureus study finding that raising cadence by 5 to 10 percent reduces lower-body impact forces and overuse injury risk. This is the first report in the current coverage, so no earlier figures or claims are available for comparison. The account does not specify the exact race date within 2025, her prior personal-best time, or the specific cadence she used.
