Description:
Get results in a heartbeat with the Forerunner 301. This versatile personal
trainer adds a digital, coded heart rate monitor to the list of Forerunner
features and supports multiple sport profiles for running, biking and other
sports perfect for any athlete who wants to see tangible results.
Get in Your Zone
The Forerunner 301's heart rate monitor continuously tracks and records your
heart rate so you can see whether you're training too hard or not hard enough.
What's more, Forerunner 301 also displays your current heart rate zone, a range
of heart beats per minute that helps you gauge the intensity of your workout and
train more effectively. After a few intense runs, Forerunner's AutoLearn feature
calculates your heart rate zones and automatically adjusts them as your fitness
level improves.
Cross-Train with Ease
Forerunner 301 has three separate sport modes for running, biking and
another activity. Just press and hold the mode button to switch between sports
and record your run, ride, hike or other workout. You can also use Forerunner
301 to train for your next duathlon or triathlon with the multi-sport setting.
This feature lets you seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the
unit, so you can include running, biking and another sport, all in the same
workout.
Track Your Progress
As an added benefit, you can plan, analyze and store data from your workouts
using free Garmin Training Center software, which lets you store and analyze
data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time, distance and heart
rate. Overlay your run on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see how
elevation and other factors affect your performance. Or, upload your workout
data to MotionBased.com, Garmin's web-based application that provides in-depth
analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your
training to the next level. Endurance athletes can also use the Forerunner with
TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web based training system designed to help
athletes train for any event.
