Perhaps it all depends on who, if any, you are pacing yourself off in the race. My best 10k, not that i've ran many, was without proper feedback on my time (unreliable timepiece)and I kept pushing myself until I caught my target at about the 9k mark.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-45270236640895854492009-03-05T17:00:00.000+08:002009-03-05T17:00:00.000+08:00Very useful becoz you know the exact pace you are ...Very useful becoz you know the exact pace you are running at. You can get it for $300 new or the new version 405 at around $500. I'm actually thinking to upgrade to 405 and might sell the 305. Let me know if you are keen.Sling Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859627939998092404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-36841495088268668952009-03-05T09:39:00.000+08:002009-03-05T09:39:00.000+08:00BTW, I read about the usefulness of a "Garmin 305"...BTW, I read about the usefulness of a "Garmin 305", any suggestion where may we get the watch at reasonable price? how much does it cost now?

I probably rely on it too much.

I can't imagine what it would be like not running with the Garmin, I'd struggle on a normal run, let alone in a race.Clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576984522794206674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-1436517836298992582009-03-01T16:08:00.000+08:002009-03-01T16:08:00.000+08:00Good job for your 10km timing.For me,i still have ...Good job for your 10km timing.For me,i still have lots of rooms for improvement to acheive a sub 40mins timing for 10km :P<BR/><BR/>But i guess running without a watch is really a bit strange if you are trying to achieve a certain timing :|<BR/><BR/>Guess i have to start working on my training program too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-9345676686044786582009-03-01T12:40:00.000+08:002009-03-01T12:40:00.000+08:00Well done Sling,Thats a really solid effort all th...Well done Sling,<BR/><BR/>Thats a really solid effort all things considered - give it a month and a cooler environment and you'll be back down near PB territory.<BR/><BR/>I was looking at your old blog on coolrunning and reckon that the form you had in 07 (training for 3:05 Canberra before things went bad) was similar to mine at present.
