Garmin Forerunner 50

For my birthday a couple months ago I received a Garmin Forerunner 50. It is a watch which comes with a chest strap type heart rate monitor which wirelessly connects to the watch to give you your heart rate. Over the past two months I have been experimenting with exercise regime to improve my mental performance as recommended in the book Spark! As part of that have been going for a morning run at the running track. The Garmin device is useful as it tracks my heart rate throughout the run and allows me to make sure I am keeping my heart rate in the recommended zone. The best thing though is that when I get back I can upload the data to my laptop and see a graph. This means I can now compare my performance with my past performance and see the improvement which is great. The PC link was a bit unintuitive to figure out at first but now I love this little bit of kit.
