The original plan was that this would be for musicians but it struck me that it could have wider uses in sport as well. I'm actually looking at this for a project I'm working on - making a sort of metronome that will work in touch instead of in sound. I've heard of those little Korgs but never seen one in use, I don't think they were expecting them to be used in the rain, though most drummers sweat enough that it gets like rain sometimes. I still only ever run short distances but the way it's always looked so impossible to me makes it still fascinating from the outside and something I'd like to properly beat one day. The Korg MM-1 MetroGnome fits comfortably on your ear so only you can hear it.

Plus I'm in awe of most of the threads on this site as I've never been in good shape for running, I was terrible at sport at school and the first time I ran an entire mile in one go, which was when I was about 26, was unbelievable for me. I'm interested in this sort of stuff anyway, I'm a drummer, it's all rhythm. Sorry if this is too long winded, just one mans experience, hope it helps. The 1st one I bought died but I think that was because it rained hard on me one day and it got soaked.

The links I included are where I have purchased from (no affiliation). When I get tired and sloppy towards the end of a race/hard workout I concentrate on the sound/stride rate and it helps me stay on pace or if I have to slow down my form stays better so I don't hurt myself.

I have a good database to work from and I attribute cadence to be one of the more substantial gains in that time. I always monitor my runs with a Polar S625X and all my workouts/races are recorded and logged. I have had steady improvement over the last 8 months since I started running again. I had injuries when young (shin splints) that sidelined me for a time, I run mostly on roads now and have not had those issues to date. Looking back on the old days I remember thinking that I needed the longest stride I could muster because I am short and I was convinced that would be more efficient. I started running consistently this year for the first time since I was 15, I am 46 now, so I took a fresh approach to everything as I was not a fast runner as a kid and I need all the efficiency I can get. With shorter strides I land less on my heel and more on the forefoot. I find that I run faster for the same effort as before and hills are easier too. So I bought one and worked on running the same cadence no matter what pace I run and my stride length is what changes with speed. I read a thread discussing this topic after this and one gent suggested this metronome This I did at an easy pace with a relatively low heart rate to start with. While on the treadmill (with HRM on) I worked up to 180 spm at the same pace (shorter strides) and observed my heart rate drop about 5 bpm. Choose the model that's best for you.I first read about cadence in Daniels book (2nd edition) and checked my spm (strides/minute) while on a treadmill, found I was 160 spm. * The lineup also includes the SyncMetronome which can be used by multiple people to synchronize their tempo, the StrokeRhythm that’s ideal for golf practice, and the SyncDancing that’s ideal for practicing social dances. Tempo can be adjusted smoothly using the jog switch, while a proprietary holding mechanism ensures that the In-EarMetronome remains firmly planted in your ear.

You can choose from a variety of beat and rhythm variations, and while compact, it provides a full range of metronome functionality. Since you can hear the metronome sound directly in your ear without it being overpowered by sounds around you, it's ideal for personal instrumental practice. The In-EarMetronome is an ultra-small metronome that fits easily in your ear. After numerous requests, KORG is releasing a new in-ear metronome with even more functionality than the original. The MM-1 micro metronome which went on sale in 2002 earned enormous popularity thanks to its shockingly small size and its revolutionary usability.
