I recently met a very nice woman who trains and runs marathons. She shared with me a new toy that she had just purchased to help with tracking and monitoring her weekly training runs so she can see her progress and training for an up coming marathon. It’s an awesome killer gadget that comes in a watch form but is much more than what it appears to be. It’s called the garmin forerunner 405.
If you have gotten this far in my blog, google this amazing Sport watch and personal trainer — Forerunner 405. This high tech watch gives you the best of both worlds in a sleek, stylish package. it’s a high performance watch is easy to use and comfortable to wear when not training. It’s a GPS-enabled sport watch that tracks your training, then wirelessly sends your data to your computer. It’s loaded with serious training features, Forerunner 405 continuously monitors your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate (when paired with heart rate monitor). Each run is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data to see how you’ve improved. You can even download recorded courses to compete against previous workouts or race a Virtual Partner®. Customize Forerunner’s data screens for instant feedback while you train.
It is the ultimate in training technology. Its sleek design features a touch bezel that lets you quickly scroll and select features on the run. Simply tap the touch bezel to change screens without fumbling for a button. It comes in two color options — black or green.
Run, Sync, Store and ShareOnce you’ve logged the miles, innovative ANT+™ wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when the Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data’s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through an online community software. You can wirelessly send workouts from your computer to Forerunner, too.
Share WirelesslyYou can share your locations, advanced workouts and courses wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. You can send your favorite workout to your buddy to try, or compete against a friend’s recorded course.
Track Heart RateForerunner 405 is available with or without a digital heart rate monitor which continuously track heart beats per minute. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run.
Cross-TrainPair it with an optional foot pod to track your speed, distance and running cadence indoors when a GPS signal is unavailable. This new design clips onto your laces for easy removal and automatically turns on when you start moving. You can also add a speed/cadence bike sensor to track the speed and distance of your cycling workouts.
Lock Onto Satellite SignalsForerunner 405 sports a unique design that gives the GPS antenna a better view of the sky, so it can get a stronger signal during your run. And its high-sensitivity GPS receiver provides improved tracking under trees and near tall buildings.
Perhaps I am a bit excited about this cool gadget but I can’t help but share cool information about things that energize me. Hope I inspired you to want to take your runs or walks to the next level.
