My 2nd run with the Garmin Heart Rate Monitoring Watch

Did a second test run with the Garmin Heart Rate Monitor, Distance and Speed Watch today. Completed a 10km run in 1 hour and 3 minutes with ease on the cardio , through monitoring and kept the heart rate around 85% of max heart rate and speed between 9 to 10km/hr. Took a 39s short break to grap a drink (lap 6).



Some pain on the left heel and right knee but not too serious. Notice that at lap 2 (each lap is 1km) and early lap 3, the cadence (constant around 77 to 78 rpm) did not increase but the running speed increased. It indicated that there is a lot of push-off or wider steps instead of the pulling up of the legs using the Pose method of running. Need to continue to fine tune the running method.


The average running pace has been hovering aroud 6-minute per km. The data on the Garmin watch automatically get transferred wireless to the PC when it is within the transmission range. Great gadget to have. Really cool.....
