Paddling Question; More Power or Faster Cadence? - by: dannyboy

In general terms if one wants to cover a given distance in a shorter period of time do you:
a. Use more powerful stroke
or
b. Use a faster cadence?

I tried both this weekend and it seemed that the faster cadence left me feeling stronger yet i felt like i was faster. It was not a given distance and i did not have a stop watch. just seat of pants feeling.

Is there a best technique or is it dependent on distance of the course traveled.

Example , sprint kayakers have a wicked fast cadence . Similar technique for say 5,000 meters or slower and more powerful stroke for longer distances?
