What The Heck Is That?
If you're a boomer (or better yet, a zoomer, you love gadgets to help you reach your goals. This is a wonderful tool to find out if you are hitting your workout targets. It includes a heart rate monitor to hit your interval levels.
Here are the highlights:
1. It's a GPS Receiver
While the Forerunner isn't billed as a GPS navigation device, it does have mapping, waypoint marking, and routing capabilities. In addition to marking locations along your journey, you can zoom in or out of a simple map that displays your current direction and path (Amazon).
2. It's A Training Tool - Your Workout Buddy
The heart and soul of the Forerunner can be found on the data screens, which give you real-time information about all aspects of your workout. In fact, it can display a dizzying array of data, such as calories burned, distance, elevation, grade, and heading, as well as multiple lap and pace modes. The 305 adds the ability to track heartrate, lap heartrate, average heartrate, and heartrate zones via the included coded heartrate chest strap (Amazon).
3. It's A Workout Computer
Training Center Software compatible with both PC and Mac tracks your performance. You can graph data such as heartrate alongside your speed and distance. Over time, this is a great way to view your fitness levels increase, and it also helps you see what types of workouts are necessary to strengthen your weaknesses. For instance, if you see your heartrate begin to spike after a certain distance, you know you need to increase your endurance workouts to train that area of fitness (Amazon).
