Garmin Forerunner 405 Custom Workout
Lots of talk over at dailymile.com right now about the Garmin Virtual Partner and Garmin Custom/Advanced Workouts (partly my fault for keep mentioning it I suppose….) Hence tonight’s workout of the Garmin Custom variety: To set up one of these workouts, you’ll need to open up your Garmin Training Center software and add the various [...]
Virtual Partner Nine Miler
Set the Garmin Virtual Guy to run 9 miles at 7:27 pace and ended up with a really enjoyable “easy” run to take me to 60 miles for the week for the first time since early March. Honestly, it took a lot of self control to hold back and run 7:27s, but the slower pace [...]
End Of The Road For Garmin Forerunner 305?
Spent some time last night updating various software versions for my Garmin Forerunner 305. Yesterday 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.

I Fixed My Garmin Forerunner 305 Heart Rate Monitor
Well, after several months of being without my heart rate monitor during training and races, I finally (with the help of the GarminF Yahoo! Group) got it to work again! Sometime over the summer (I’m not exactly sure when), my heart rate monitor strap stopped transmitting data to the Forerunner 305 receiver worn on my [...]
Week 11 – Key Run Workout #3
No 20 mile run can ever be described as easy (well, not for me anyway), but today’s long run was one of the best I can remember for quite some time. With only 5 weeks to go until my main goal race of 2007, the Marine Corps Marathon, I was in desperate need for a [...]
