If you are a pro athlete or even just a novice, you know that having some intellect about your own capabilities proves crucial in any sport that is played. With this knowledge, you can improve yourself to becoming all that you can be.
While reviewing the Garmin Forerunner 305 I also realized that this type of device will boost your performance and motivate you to improve over time by allowing you to compare your past and present performances to see what you need to work on. This will come in handy when you take part in marathons or triathlons, where you will need to make sure you are at your best.
Making yourself your own competition is the best way to ensure that you will be physically, mentally and emotionally ready for any obstacle, sport competition or event. Optionally, if you include the Foot Pod accessory with your Garmin Forerunner 305, you will have the added advantage of monitoring the distances you cover and the calories you burn, even while you are working out indoors. The Foot Pod is designed to attach itself to your shoe, allowing the information in it to be transmitted to the Garmin Forerunner 305.
Here is some of what I found:
• The distance accuracy of the Garmin Forerunner 305 is great
• The feature set is phenomenal
• The elevation and calorie readings are not really that accurate
• The HRM function is top notch
There is a significant lag between when you change your speed and when the Forerunner watch registers that change, but that is true of all speed sensors.
The Garmin Forerunner 305 will serve the needs of someone who wants to simply track time, speed, and distance in a basic running or walking program, but it also has enough features to satisfy the most obsessive enthusiast, and is great for someone who needs to share data with a professional trainer or coach.
Please note that this Garmin Forerunner 305 review is strictly the opinion of the writer. If you really want to know if this watch is right for you then I suggest you give it your own try.
