Garmin Forerunner 305
As a Personal trainer I have found the Garminâ„¢ has added a new dimension to training my clients. I can now give accurate measurements of distance, running speed, heart rate and much more if required. Data can be downloaded to your computer to give a full analysis of your training sessions which can then also include the climbs you have run. Garminâ„¢ says this on its website:
“As an added benefit, you can plan, analyze and store data from your workouts using free Garmin Training Center® software, which lets you analyze data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time, distance and heart rate. Overlay your run on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see how elevation and other factors affect your performance. Or, upload your workout data to MotionBased.com, Garmin’s web-based application that provides in-depth analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your training to the next level. Endurance athletes can also use the Forerunner with TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to help athletes train for any event.”
I use Garminâ„¢ on every run as the data is an invaluable tool for measuring performance in the short and long term. The reception from the satellites has improved with this model.
