Garmin Forerunner 301

If youre serious about training and your gym is the great outdoors, the wrist-mounted Garmin Forerunner 301 is your personal coach, heart-rate monitor, and route map. With internal speed and distance calculation, elevation tracking, zone targeting and a host of compatible computer programs, the Forerunner 301 has every ingredient for a record-breaking season. When you get back from a run or bike ride, you can hook up to your Mac or PC and use Garmins online MotionBased program to lay maps over your route, find out calories burned, track your change in heart rate on different terrain, and send your routes to friends (or competitors) to show them how much butt youre kicking. Triathletes love the easy switch between running and biking modes, and the Virtual Coach program keeps you on your toes in every discipline. Try to keep pace with your pre-programmed Virtual Partner and youll know whether youre meeting your goals every step of the way. As if that werent enough, the Forerunner 301s GPS stores waypoints to guide you back to your car if you lose your way.
