Running Gadgets – Do They Help?
While somewhat dated, this presentation shot in the lead up to the 2007 NY Marathon outlines just a few of the many heart rate monitor choices that are available to runners or anyone looking to track their fitness and exercise progress. You can find these device here at HeartRateMonitor2go.com such as the Garmin Forerunner 305 or the Polar RS series heart rate monitors.
When running a marathon, a heart rate device can be very useful, as race day adrenalin and excitement can easily cause participants to go out too fast and thus fade quickly later in the race. Like life, a marathon is about making steady incremental improvements and maintaining a steady pace to the finnish line.
