A device measuring the distance I have run?

running watches that measure distance image

Fraz

I would like to know if there is a device, something maybe like a watch, which also measures the distance you run? This is because im doing a training program and for example after jogging 1.5km i will sprint 50m, so i need something which can tell me the distance i have just run.

I have looked at one other similar question but the answers didnt really help.

Answer
I use the garmin 301 - it is perfect it comes with a heart rate monitor and you can program it for just about any thing distance wise you want to do. I programmed it for 2 miles warm up 12x30s sprints with 2 min rest and 2 mile cool down. It took 2 minutes to program and load on the device.

What is a good distance tracker/GPS for your shoe while running?

Not looking for a watch, looking for a quality shoe product that can accurately measure my distance on my runs. Or, are there distance trackers you could put in your pocket?

Answer
I don't trust those devices you put in your shoe to measure that kind of stuff. I've heard several bad reviews about them plus I believe they are a waste of money. What I do is wear a wristwatch while I run and see how long I run for then I get online and track how far I ran. Good websites to do this are http://www.usatf.org/routes/map/ and http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/create/
