>even at 5’45”/km which definitely is easy run territory i’m already in low z3. And it’s supposed to be easier on your body but at that pace my cadence drops and i feel like my running form turn to shit.
I feel you. I used to control my pace through cadence as well but when I started focusing on cadence and kept it high despite going slow it got better. It will feel weird in the beginning to take such short steps but you will get used to it. This fixed my form when going slow and puts less stress on my body.

pic related is today's easy run. As you can see the cadence is high despite the slow pace.
