This happens by purchasing a watch that has GPS as one of its features. The basic ones act like regular watches because all it has is a timer. A good example of this is the Garmin Forerunner 101 and the Navman 2.
Those who prefer the more advanced ones can monitor the heart rate and measure the mileage run or jogged like the kind seen in the Garmin Forerunner 201. One of the best things it has it is the ability to store daily logs for more than two years. This can help athletes and fitness enthusiasts develop a program that will cater to their needs.
There are different methods to make this happen.
- The first is by setting a distance that has to be achieved. There is no time pressure here. The important thing is to complete it and then add another mile or two after a few weeks.
- This goes to the second method which involves timing. You may be able to run 10 miles but races are won by those who are able to finish it the fastest.
- Those who have endurance can work on speed. Athletes should have a strong start, maintain a certain pace and then finish strong in the end. This has to be perfected regardless if the marathon is done in the city or cross country.
- The first two methods are effective for those who compete. But for those who can't start quickly like the other runners or are doing this to lose weight, the third method of being able to maintain a certain speed together and heart rate is enough to make anyone stay in shape.
