Morning 9am. Received my Garmin heart rate, speed & distance monitoring watch from SH who help me hand-carried back to Singapore. Thanks!.Very excited. It looks much better than I have expected. The data will be automatically uploaded from the watch wirelessly to the computer when you are within the transmission range of the computer.
Afternoon 5pm. Went to jog around the 5km Neram Crescent route (used MapMyRun free sw tool). Was targeting to do 5km. But with the new Garmen monitoring watch, I was able to complete 8km today and still feeling fairly comfortable. Was monitoring and trying to keep the running speed between 9km/h to 10km/h and to keep heart rate between 80% to 85% of maximum heart rate. Completed the 8km run in 44m & 52s. Including the cooling down run of 1.6km, covered a total of 9.6km in about 1 hour.
First time using this gadget and loves it. The watch automatically transfered the data wirelessly to the PC when within range. The software display the table and graph immediately. So easy to use. So excited by it. The table displayed Total Distance, Total Time, Average Pace (min/km), Average Speed (km/h), Max Speed, Total Calories, Average Heart Rate, Maximum Heart Rate and Average Cadence (rpm).
The graph function can display 4 sets of parameter at the same time. In the chart shown here, it showed Heart Rate on the right axis. On the left axis it showed the % of Max Heart Rate and Speed. You can select any of the data sets to display. Really cool...for a newbie like me. Love it. Strongly recommended. Cost US$138 through internet order as compare to S$400 if purchase locally in Singapore. Strongly recommended for serious runners.
