Garmin Forerunner 110
This watch is my new running toy! I highly recommend one! There are lots of benefits! I used to have to drive my runs before hand so I knew the mileage, but with the GPS it tells me how far I've gone as I'm running! This way I don't have to run the same on run everyday. I can turn down any road I want to and explore while I run. Keeps the excitement in the game. It also tracks your pace per mile. Which I LOVE & you must know if you are training for an event and have a goal time in mind. My favorite feature is the heart rate strap. While I'm running I'm able to watch my heart rate and make sure I'm keeping it in the target area. Its great for knowing how to pace myself over the course of my run and getting to know my own body. Your always taught to keep your heart rate in a certain zone but how can you do that without the boring old treadmill? With this watch!!! By knowing my heart rate I'm able to learn what a certain heart rate feels like to me, & how much it takes me to get there. Tracking my progress by plugging this champ into my computer is also a must. It logs all your runs for you so you can watch your training get better and better! Run the numbers baby. You've got to & I love it!
