Garmin Forerunner and Edge software

After downloading your data from the Garmin Forerunner 301 and Edge 305 you will see on the main Garmin Training Centre page, the graph below the map charts your pace, speed, heart rate or elevation data based on time or distance. With one mouse click, you can change the data shown on each axis or zoom in and out on the graph. Move the cursor along the graph to see exactly what speed you were traveling or how fast your heart was beating at that point in time. These features let you pinpoint specific areas and see how elevation and other factors affect your performance.

BHIP comment. The Garmin ForeRunner 301 and Edge 305 comes with built in mapping software that gives you a biscuit trail of where you ran. If you have another Garmin MAPPING product on your PC, like a Garmin Quest, using city select V6.0 Europe map, the Training Centre software will use this data to show you the actual street names and places where you've been.

The Garmin software also allows the user to view the hard data for your workouts, which will help you analyze each lap. Simply click on the totals tab instead of the map tab. A "notes" section allows you to add comments about that particular workout or lap.

We (BHIP Ltd team) used the Garmin Forerunner 201/301 for the London Flora HALF Marathon in Silverstone. Using the Virtual Partner it paced Tristan (BHIP Director) to within 20 seconds of his desired time... 20 seconds faster that is :-)

Following a structured workout schedule is an important element of any training program, and it's the key to reaching your fitness goals. With Garmin's Training Center™, creating and scheduling your workouts is simple. TC even comes with several workout templates designed by the experts at TrainingPeaks.com, which you can download directly to your Forerunner unit. The templates explain different types of workouts and why they are beneficial. In addition to helping you meet your goals, sticking to an established workout plan can help prevent injuries, especially if you're training for your first marathon or a similar race.

BHIP comment.... WOW... there is NOTHING you cannot do with the interval sets on the Garmin ForeRunner 301 and Garmin Edge 305... you can do anything, any combination, time based, distance based or HR based... very flexible. Of all the current SDM + HRM units available, it has the most flexible interval programming options.
