The only Steinway piece that I own, and it's free.
It's the iPod app metronome.
My lunchtime run was an experiment on the optimal cadence of 180 steps per minute, as per marathon nation's 29 ways to transform your run.
I thought I'd start off slower, 170. Presto! Off I go along the Mall.
Felt good to be on beat, something not as easy on 170 even on the piano! It forces me to do smaller steps. After a while the sound of the beats do get stressful.
After a mile, I'd wanna up this to 180, prestissimo! During the wait at the traffic lights. No! No sound.
Another case of how not to run with gadgets. The iPods done it again!
I then went back to my kelly chen's BPM on randoms. Perhaps today's not the day. The plantar fascia is hurting, even, or especially after much golf ball massaging. I hope nothings ruptured!
One day, I'll crank it up to 180.
