Running With a Metronome

Guys, this is a game changer.  never has a random post in my Instagram feed been so helpful.  I saw someone posting in my IG feed about running.  They mentioned using a metronome to keep a consistent cadence.  First time I ever heard of such a thing.  I downloaded an app with a metronome, read a few articles and went for a run.  Did my usual run but knocked off 2 minutes.  I wasn't quite hitting the pace I wanted but having something in my ear to at least attempt to hit a certain pace paid off.  Why don't all running apps have this feature?

According to the few things I've read it can take a few weeks to get into the groove of things.  I will keep running with the metronome and see what kind of progress I can make.  Allegedly along with keeping a consistent pace it reduces the chance of injury and helps you run more efficiently.  I would recommend looking into this if you're interested in immediately improving your running.
