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.
