Pros and cons of metronome training

http://www.yourrunning.com/forum-metronome_training#comment-4303

Q: When training, is it best to learn to run at a pace using a metronome? Or is it more important to use a heart monitor and focus on aerobic vs. anaerobic?

Simon says:
You can't learn the fine art of pace judgement using a metronome. What you can use it for is to check and, if you need to, to improve your cadence -- your footstrikes per minute.

How not to heel-strike?

http://www.yourrunning.com/forum-how_not_to_heel_strike#comment-4591

Q: Here's a serious question from someone who definitely doesn't have perfect form. What can I do to improve my form so that I'm properly landing on the balls of my feet - and thus be a candidate for a pair of those garish colored Newtons?

And do I have to learn to run like that to be a successful runner? (Would Bobby be faster if adapted and learned to love the Newtons?)
