Running with a GPS

[Ex Coelis]

I bought a Foretrix 301 by Garmin for work (later found out there's a 401 . . .) and it proved valuable in the field

when I got back I started wearing it while running and I'm surprised I ever did pt without one!

without getting into exhaustive detail on it's every feature, I will say it's great knowing exactly how far I've ran, my average speed, my max speed, and a tonne of other statistics

it's great for short  runs, long runs, and even sprints - plus it wears easily on your wrist

that's pretty cool how it transfers your route to google maps

I payed 260 because I bought it at the last minute before deploying

you can get the 401 on ebay for 180 or less

Oh gotcha, sounds good to see how my average is outside training for the marathon

that iphone app might be more appropriate for civilians/citizens

the Foretrix has a lot of features that people probably don't need outside of an operational environment

the 401 even has a "jumpmaster" feature designed to calculate wind speed and otherwise assist with military parachuting

either way, a GPS is an excellent tool for measuring and thus improving performance for running
