Garmin Forerunner 405

I just purchased the Garmin Forerunner 405 (with the optional Heart Rate Monitor (HRM)). I have enjoyed using the Garmin Forerunner 305 (the previous generation device); I was wearing it to generate the course map in my prior MS2S Course entry below.  However, after seeing Belle’s latest entry on her site regarding her use of the 405 in her weekend training run, I saw that it had capabilities which my 305 does not..

First and foremost, the addition of Garmin Connect, which allows users to share data collected from various workouts. Since Belle is my “virtual training partner” this had instant appeal for me. I had tried in vain to set up a much simpler logging facility on the old version of my site, and this seems to be a MUCH improved method of logging workouts!

Secondly there is the ability to upload data to my PC using a wireless connection - I had always managed at one point or another to inadvertently disconnect the USB cable - usually by kicking it!

So why am I entering this in the Cycling category? Because my first use of it won’t be in a run. Instead I will wear it in this weekend’s Tour de Tahoe, a 72-mile (116km) ride around Lake Tahoe. I don’t know if I will wear the HRM that comes with the Garmin or with my bike speedometer, but I like to watch my heart rate on long-distance events to keep myself on more or less an even keel ...

I will post whatever data I collect in a follow-up entry sometime next week, hopefully including a few photos.

Belle has posted a nice example of how to use Garmin Connect to log a workout; this is from her recent 26.77km training run - http://connect.garmin.com/activity/701181

2. Traveling has been always remained one of my favorite things in my life. Especially traveling abroad which not only turns out to be a great adventure for me but also provides a fair chance of understanding the other cultures and languages in the world. I liked your post because I do have command over more than three language and its a unique experience at all. Though traveling through british airways is always a good experience yet now a day am looking for companies that offer san diego cheap flights in luxurious style. Currently again planning for an out of country tour and hope that knowing more than one three or four international languages will me help me a lot as usual. Nice post at all.

12. I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
