The Runners Shop now stocks Garmin! Customers have been requesting this product for years and Brian has finally caved into the new technology. The Forerunner series use a high sensitivity GPS receiver to lock onto satellite signals providing accurate speed and distance data at a glance. Several models also monitor heart rate.

Store Manager Rebecca Wiasak considers the Garmin Forerunner her most useful training tool - besides running shoes. "The Garmin is a pretty nifty watch," she said. "I can keep track of my distance along with current and average pace which is invaluable in road races and triathlons. Once I download the data to my laptop I can analyse what went wrong and identify how I can improve."

 The Forerunner is a must have accessory for any serious runner. View the full range in store now.
