Do you take your running seriously?
By Albie McGhee (New Zealand)

I have recently purchased a Forerunner 301 after having used a Sports Instruments heart rate monitor for about a year. The heart rate monitor was excellent, and certainly usefull in the gym – rather than wait a certain length of time between sets, wait until your HR is below 120bpm. It allows you to pace yourself much more.

The forerunner 301 is a completely different animal. So different, that there really isn’t any fair comparison at all.
With this puppy on your arm you can build a workout (they are quite simple but effective) on your pc, slap it on the forerunner, and off you go. Great running feedback, and excellent info when transferred to the pc. Everything is easy to do – not quite WinXP wizard easy, but simple none the less.

If you are gadgety inclined, and ARE taking (not just wanting or planning to) your running or biking seriously then without a doubt, the Forerunner 301 is the machine for you.

I am very happy with my buy. I paid $230 for it. Worth every last buck. From my experience I have no trouble recommending the Forerunner 301 to any one who is taking their running seriously!!
