I got the Best Birthday Present on Tuesday


Garmin Forerunner® 305
Last year for Christmas we gave Dustin a Garmin 301 and I really never saw the need nor had the desire for one. Then when we went to the beach this year Dustina and I ran 6 miles every morning and we could run different routes because the Garmin would tell us our mileage. I really liked it and decided that I would love to have one. When the youth went to Macon Dustin loaned me his 301 and I used it there for the week and again I could run different places and never have to get in the vehicle to map out a route.
Anyway, Misty asked what I wanted for my birthday and I said a Garmin 305. It is more than what she would have spent so we just asked the relatives who usually buy gifts to help with the 305 and they did. I bought it NEW from e-bay and got a real good deal in it.
I can’t wait to use it but it isn’t going to happen today.

Form meets function with Garmin’s high-performance line of personal trainers — the Forerunner 305, 405 and 205. The Forerunner 305 includes a high sensitivity GPS receiver, new courses feature and robust wireless heart rate monitor for optimal performance.

Lock On to Satellite Signals

Forerunner 305 sports a unique design that wraps the GPS antenna around part of the wrist for a better view of the sky, and its high sensitivity GPS receiver provides improved tracking under trees and near tall buildings. Forerunner 305 also sports a robust ANT+™ wireless heart rate monitor with softer, more comfortable chest strap and superior battery life. It eliminates cross-talk with other devices to reliably measure and send heart rate data, and it helps you train in your optimal heart rate zone.

Take It to the Next Level

Forerunner 305’s courses feature lets you compete against previous workouts: you can compare your pace and heart rate to your past performance over the same run. You can also use Forerunner 305 to train for your next duathlon or triathlon with multi-sport workouts, a feature that lets you seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the unit, so you can use it for running, biking and more.

Train indoors and still track your distance, pace and calories burned with the optional Foot Podaccessory. This wireless sensor attaches to your running shoe and transmits distance and pace data to your Forerunner 305 so you can still use it when GPS reception is unavailable.

Get the Data You Need

You can customize any of Forerunner 305’s three main data screens — up to twelve data fields give you instant feedback on your workout. And, as with every Forerunner, each workout is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data and see how you’ve improved over time.

Track Your Progress

As an added benefit, you can plan, analyze and store data from your workouts using free Garmin Training Center® software, which lets you analyze data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time, distance and heart rate. Overlay your run on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see how elevation and other factors affect your performance. Or, upload your workout data to MotionBased.com, Garmin’s web-based application that provides in-depth analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your training to the next level. Endurance athletes can also use the Forerunner with TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to help athletes train for any event.
