I named my garmin that after the virtual training feature. I also set mine so I will hopefully win when using the training partner. Its a real ego boost to beat a guy. I've used him for interval training and love the auto lap feature. I'm sure there's more he could do but heck he'd better stay away from the laundry cause men never seem to get that right.

It was only afterwards when I downloaded the data to my PC, that I discovered that I had been running too FAST (no wonder I nearly popped a safety valve!). On investigation I found that when using training mode, the Forerunner uses the same sound for BOTH ends of the zone. It seems a real oversight to me to have missed this and should be quick to fix it. Having said that, I do enjoy my Forerunner 305 and I hope they will add a bit more running functionality. I have suggested to Garmin that they start a user forum where we can post these ideas.

[/quote] I smile as I type because I belong to this category..well I have migrated to gmap-pedometer. I could use your help... if I want to train based on HR , is a Polar HRM better investment than the Garmin Forerunner. I know the "GF" has a lot of features, but most people don't seem to expound on its HRM feature. ( Amazon had a few so-so reviews about the HRM feature). [quote]
