Paul

i've been searching for a gps sports watch that measures running and walking distances in metres but i can't seem to find any, the ones i find seem to measure in miles and k/m. I want to measure in metres for 100m sprints so mileage is no use it has to be in metres. I'm just wondering though, is there any portable device available that measures walking and running distance in metres ?

Answer
The Suunto Ambit displays the kms in such resolution that you can read the 10-meter increments. I suppose other GPS watches are like that too. And some smartphone apps might do the same.

But note that GPS accuracy is not very high, so the single-digit readings are not that reliable.

I am looking for a good online running store based out of Australia?

I am looking for an australian running website that will allow me to order shoes online and ship them to a rural address. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have been looking to buy a pair of nike air zoom haywards online and can only find them in America. Any good suggestions for Australian running sites? Many thanks.
