Hello all!
I have decided to run the 2011 Boston Marathon to raise awareness for veterans and my charity, Veteran's Gift. I have just started my training, and I need to start getting equipment to help me keep track of my goals. I have a pedometer application on my iPod for the interim, but I am looking for something that will be very accurate, so I can make sure I am following my training standards and schedule.
I am looking for a very good quality accelerometer-based pedometer for runners, GPS back-up even more helpful. Most of the reviews I have read from prominent sites are based on walkers.
If there are any marathon runners/trainers out there that favor a particular pedometer, please let me know. I am looking for the best accuracy and life, so it can go for the long run. Price isn't really an issue.
Answer
Get a Garmin Forerunner. It's a GPS enabled watch/computer that measures and records everying except your urine output. I knocked 10% off my time just because I had it.
The Forerunner functions include:
pace,average pace, time, distance, interval training, pace alerts, incline, bearing, calories, navigation (dot maps), clock time, sunset and sunrise times, etc. All of this can be downloaded to a computer for a work out analysis.
The Forerunner also has a cycling function that does similar thing if you are biking.
The Forerunner is not cheap, but it's worth it.
b/t/w, If you need lodging in Boston, check out Newbury Guest House. It's a great B & B.
Good luck!

Iits been 4 years and the Android market still suck! why?
Big AssAss
Iv been using android since the G1 came out. The market was acceptable back then because they were new and I thought the mega corporation "Google" would have great devs like apple. 4 years later apps are still mediocre at best, never anythin cool or interesting the games are terrible....what's going on here? Is apple really better?
