garmin running watch 301 image
Alex
I was thinking about buying the Garmin 610. It is very expensive though, so I was wondering if it is worth it or should I just wait. And how long do you thing it would be? Thanks!

Personally, as a runner, I don't understand the difference between the 301 and everything that has come after it (though I do understand the need for a company to market new products). It costs about 3 times what I paid for my 301 and for what, a touch screen instead of the buttons or to download a performance that I can compare with others online? No matter how many bells and whistles they add to it, after a GPS watch tells you how far you ran, how fast you ran it, how fast your heart beat doing it, if you are on pace doing a run and is able to download this information onto a computer, everything else is marketing.

How can my garmin 305 help me train for a sub 3hr marathon?

I know this watch has an abundance of features, but i fear im wasting them. For an example . . .if i go for a 5 mile run i want the watch to tell me if im on schedule for a sub 3hr finish? How do i do this?
Answer
Read the instructions, it is too much for someone to copy down here or to have the interest in copying it down since you can read how with the instruction. Look at working out with the virtual partner, you can set it up distance (5 miles) and time (34:20). It should show a pace of 6:52. In this mode it will show if you are ahead of behind pace and how far. You can also set pace alerts so that the watch chimes when you are off pace. It might even do some other things, I only have a 301. Good luck!
