Garmin Forerunner 301 Personal GPS with Heart Rate Monitor

The Forerunner 301 is the next exciting addition to the Forerunner lineup. This product will take the training experience of the Forerunner 201 to the next level by integrating a continuous heart rate monitor. Why is heart rate so important? Simply put, heart rate can be used as a measurement of exercise intensity and an accurate way to gauge performance. The Forerunner 301 is the only 2-piece system that offers a heart rate monitor and GPS to provide instant speed, distance and pace data. There’s no calibration required, and the 301 can be used for multiple sports, like cycling, cross country skiing and more. The 301 is a powerful training tool for those interested in losing weight, improving fitness, reaching peak athletic performance, or just improving health to reduce heart-related problems. Having the ability to analyze workout data is an important tool in reaching one’s fitness goals. That’s why the Forerunner 301 comes with the Garmin Training Center software, which allows users to download workout data to their PC for a detailed analysis. Or, create workouts on the PC and transfer them to the 301. Like the Forerunner 201, the 301 also doubles as a basic navigator. Users can mark their starting point as a specific location, see their current position on the plotter display, and follow an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their starting point.
