Rated 3 out of 5

Are you a runner or a technology maniac?

New models of Forerunner were already born. But this old one is good enought to have all what you need for training without spend too much money. It is not heavier than the others, it is easy to use during your running or byke training sessions. 14 hours of operating time for the batteries it is not too much but enought if you do not have to do some long trial competition. No cardiofreqence - but pace rate (do you know yourself?). No downloadable data - but hystory readable. The shape is a little less ergonomic than the new models but it works well in any case. Do you think that, for a fast and accurate operation during the run, it is easier to push buttons (like in this model) or to swipe the finger around the clock (like in the new model)? Your choice. The most important think is to run: Kenyans do not have Forerunner. But it can help.

Funny-duddy r.

About Garmin Forerunner 101, Wrist Mounted GPS Enabled Personal Trainer #0100032905

The Forerunner 101 offers athletes and recreational walkers and runners an entry-level personal training device with GPS. It measures speed, distance, pace and calories burned, and run on 2 AAA batteries. The Forerunner 101 stores lap histories for up to two years to provide an archive of workout performance over time.

It retrieves lap data of previous workouts by date, week, month, or over a specific time interval. For business travelers who want to train on the road, the Forerunner 101 also doubles as a navigator. Users can mark their hotel as a specific location, see their current position on the plotter display, and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their starting point.

Working out with the Forerunner 101 means you're never alone in your personal training, because the unit provides a "Virtual Partner". This unique feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner's pace and workout distance. You'll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner's pace, so you can always see at a glance if you're keeping up or falling behind.
