Garmin Forerunner 10

Garmin Forerunner 10

For the month of May we are going to look at how we track our runs. After all, we are looking to log some serious miles in an attempt to reach now heights.

There are several way to track your runs with various GPS and mobile devices. This month we are taking a look at some exciting innovations from Garmin and their online tracking feature Garmin Connect.

Garmin Connect:

Garmin Connect is an online resource that helps you keep track of your miles and helps optimize your training by presenting data in various ways. Pace, elevation, distance, allows you to set/track goals and more.

Heat Map:

Here is a new feature on Garmin Connect, you can see where other runners/cyclists workout. Pretty cool. It allows you to find the most popular place in your city for workouts. It’s color-coded based on Garmin Connect activity. San Francisco is below and the red strips are areas that I frequently run. The one at the top in the middle was where the #BostonStrongSF took place.
