Hi, I am going on a cruise soon and was wondering if when I run on the track that is on the cruise, will the distance and pace results of my Garmin Forerunner 450 (gps running watch) be messed up because of the ship's motion?


Answer
Although I don't have such a watch, I'm quite sure the answer is yes. GPS determines the longitude and latitude and calculates distance, speed, etc from that. Your cruise ship should have a sign on the walking deck that states how far one lap is.

What was your experience in using a Casio Phys Pedometer watch for getting your running pace and distance?

I am looking at buying a Casio Phys Pedometer watch but I am not sure if it works well in getting a runner's pace, no. of steps and distance. Does it work well for running applications?


Answer
You can try it. However, I just use an ordinary pedometer. Dont care (as yet) about heart rate as long as my time is maintained.
