End Of The Road For Garmin Forerunner 305?

Spent some time last night updating various software versions for my Garmin Forerunner 305Yesterday I thought I’d failed to charged my Garmin 305 correctly and therefore didn’t/couldn’t use it on my 15 mile long run. Today, despite being on charge for almost 24 hours, the same thing happened and the screen went blank as soon [...]


Back Outside: Nice Tuesday Eight Miler

After yesterday’s treadmill run, it was great to get outside again for a late afternoon run in the sun. With the temperature in the mid-80′s I knew it could be a tough workout, but I planned on averaging seven minute miles for eight miles if I could last the pace. To err on the side [...]

I fancied a slightly quicker run today so decided to race my Garmin Forerunner 305 over a 10k course. If you weren’t aware, the 305 has [...]

Saturday Steady Run

Despite taking a rare day off from running yesterday, I could still feel Thursday’s 20 miler in my legs, so today was quite a slog in the wind and not as easy a run as I’d hoped for. I did manage to duck under an average 7 minute mile pace, but to be honest it [...]
