Metronome App For Running

Has anyone ever used a metronome app for running?

I downloaded one on my phone to try it out. You can hear it through the headphones along with the music, and set it for any cadence you want.

At first I thought it would interfere with being able to enjoy the music at the same time, but it doesn't.

Pretty cool tool I think.

    I use my breathing in a similar way. I don't take any devices with me when I run, so breathing works well for me.

    Alternatively, just throw a couple of 180BPM songs into your playlist once in a while. That said, once you get used to the feel of your target cadence you won't need much help to stay on it.
