Having a GPS unit available when running or participating in a number of other outdoor sports can be useful, but traditional GPS units tend to be a bit too cumbersome in order to be effective in these situations.
Luckily, the Garmin Forerunner series of GPS units is anything but traditional these wrist-mounted devices not only give you accurate GPS data regardless of where you are, but they also help you to get more out of your training by providing you with a number of different data points to help you analyze your performance.
Whether you're running, cycling, or even cross-country skiing, being able to tell where you are is important. Even more important, of course, is being able to tell how to get back to where you started. Not only will a Garmin Forerunner be able to give you accurate GPS coordinates regardless of where you are, but it will also track your route so that you can map it out in more detail later and be able to find your way back to your starting point with the push of a button. Getting lost isn't an option, because an extended antenna contained within the wrist strap of every Forerunner will ensure that you're not going to lose your GPS signal when you need it the most.
There are a number of other features packed in to every Garmin Forerunner as well. You can receive accurate data in regards to your speed, the current time, how far you've travelled since leaving your starting point, and even the pace at which you've been travelling. Depending on the specific Forerunner model that you choose you can even get data on your heart rate so that you'll know exactly how difficult your workout has been.
Your Garmin Forerunner can also interface with your PC, letting you download your training data for use with the included analysis software or upload to the MotionBased.com website. This will allow you to analyze exactly which parts of your workout were most difficult and which need further development. You can even review the courses that you've taken in order to map out your favorites for future use. This analysis will help you to not only improve your workout routine but will also let you monitor your progress from one week to the next so that you can really watch all of your training pay off.
