Pedaling faster puts more stress on your aerobic system, but with training, your aerobic system will adapt and you'll be able to sustain a high pace on flat ground and hills for longer periods of time.

Ah, the cadence question. Whether ’tis nobler in the legs to pedal hard and slow or to take strokes lightly, and by pedaling fast, save energy? All right, the strained Shakespeare reference aside, the question of whether it’s better to pedal slow or fast depends on your training goals. Exercise leads to fatigue, and the cadence you use during cycling can affect how fatigue impacts your riding. When you pedal slowly, you’re pushing against more resistance with each pedal stroke, which means you have to recruit a lot of muscle fibers in your legs to generate enough power to keep going. The trouble is, many of those fibers fatigue quickly, no matter how fit you are. Pedaling faster reduces the resistance you’re pushing against with each stroke, which shifts a good portion of the stress of pedaling from your leg muscles to your heart and lungs. Since your heart and lungs don’t fatigue the same way skeletal muscles do, this shift allows you to keep riding longer before your legs get tired. Now, if you are looking to increase leg strength and your ability to accelerate fast and sprint, then low-cadence, high-resistance intervals are important for your training. By demanding more power against a big resistance, these intervals are similar to weight lifting on the bike and lead to neuromuscular adaptations that lead to increased recruitment of fast-twitch muscle fibers. In the end, you’ll develop the ability to accelerate and sprint faster.

If translated into numbers, platinum—for all of its known deposits—is considerably more rare than gold and is the rarest metal of all.
Platinum is 30 times more rare than gold. If all the platinum ever mined were melted and poured into an Olympic-sized pool, the platinum would barely reach your ankles. Gold, however, would fill three pools. Think about that when you compare platinum with other precious metals, especially if you’re in the market for an engagement ring or wedding band. Precious platinum is truly as rare as your love. The metal you choose to symbolize your marriage has some amazing beginnings. Johnson Matthey, one of the world’s largest platinum producers, gives us a little history: When the Spaniards searched for gold in the New World, they found a strange white metal. Unaware of its potential, they hurled the ore into nearby rivers, hoping that in time, the rocks would “mature” into gold. Calling it “platina,” or “little silver,” the prospectors did not realize that the very rocks they threw away contained an element that was more precious and rare than the metal that drove their ambitions. If translated into numbers, platinum—for all of its known deposits—is considerably more rare than gold and is the rarest metal of all. And it is, truly, a gift from the heavens. Found in just a few known regions of the world, including Russia and South Africa, platinum has also been discovered in heavy concentrations in meteorites- first reported in F. G. Hawley’s research papers, published in 1939. Yes, the precious metal that graces your beloved engagement ring is a celestial metal with incomparable qualities of strength, purity and durability.
