training tips anyone??

Hi all. I`ve been following some tips from Lance Armstrong Performance Program book and im eager to learn the fast cadence. Basically, i ride on weekends only. But these few weeks, i begin to train more(tuesday till sunday with off day on monday) and did about 30km ride in an hour. That is an average of 30km/h. Mainly, i just concentrate on learning faster cadence which, hopefully, about 95-110rpm. I dont have cadence meter so i just playing some guessing game. However, i dont feel comfortable pedalling at high cadence. I run a 13-25t cassette and normally on 4th lightest gear. At first, i suspected the bike setting. I tried to lower down the seatpost and bring up the stem height so that i feel more comfortable. Some articles recommend us to bring forward the saddle to acheive faster cadence but i need to streng for climbing and i set my saddle as far as possible. Do you guys think i should train more instead of changing the bike setup? Im into this training for about 2 weeks only. Maybe its too early to make any speculation about my performance gain...
