Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS
Runner's Best Friend
By Eric McCammond
Ranked #380 - Trail Running Accessories
November 28, 2008
I wanted to get more serious about my running so I bought this thing. I've now logged nearly 700 miles this year and I'm training for the Tokyo marathon. No more planning is required. I just strap this thing and take off. If I want to run 10 miles today, I just run out until this thing tells me I've run 5 miles and then I turn around. I plug it into my laptop and upload the data to the internet where it displays my run on Google Map and even tells me the temperature and wind speed/direction while I was running! I take the distance/time data and load it up to my running database where it displays my run stats on my blogsite. Me and a few friends located around the globe keep an eye on each other's blogs as a friendly competition. For outdoor activities, I still grab my old trusty Magellan Sportrak since I can change batteries on it in the field. But, the device I use day in and day out for my running is this. It has never failed me and has helped me take my running to another level.
