Just started week 8

Run done with a slightly faster 1 minute ending, quite hard work on a Sunday morning. But legs still feel good, so looking forward to graduating next week. Now pondering some sort running watch... Any one with any ideas, theres so many!

I think most folks start with the Garmin Forerunner 10. I got one from Tesco which was the best price at the time. Delivered to the local corner one which was handy

I love mine! It's their simplest model but loads on here have it and get on fine with it. They do have little blips occasionally but generally speaking mine's been ok and I don't know what I'd do without it now. There are videos on Garmin for each watch

The main difference between them is some have heart rate monitors. The F10 doesn't

If you do get a Garmin there is a web site where we all meet up and compare runs. Again lots of peeps here are on there too and it's like here, very friendly

If you have a Smart phone there are various apps you can download that do much the same thing, I use Runkeeper, but there is also Map my run, and Endomondo among others. I'm sure someone who has tried both will be able to tell you the pros and cons of watches over phones...Congrats on your progress BTW
