Gearing up for my first run with my Forerunner 110 and heart rate monitor. Going to take this one a bit steadier, hopefully, as W4R2 was awful for me with crippling stitch by the end. That was the first bad run I've had and it has knocked my confidence slightly. I think I was over-confident from completing the first run nice an steady! Ah well, you live and learn. I just need to remember to learn to run before I can... er... run

...Take it easy - slow and steady. Bad run better than no run is the mantra. For a stitch - blow in and out as though you are blowing up a balloon (dr chap advised me on that).
The Garmin is a great toy - it is lovely to see progress and the mileage building up. slightly scary what your heart rate can be.
Mine's only a FR10 but I love it & if you've been pushing a bit to hard, look for the virtual pacer on your Garmin, set it for a steady pace & it will tell when you get ahead of yourself (on pace & behind pace too.)
