Garmin Forerunner makes you faster...
I've always been a fan of gadgets like the Polar HRMs and more recently the Garmin Forerunner 305
(and the iPhone!). However unless you do something meaningful with the data they don't make you any fitter or faster - or do they?
I was recently out being a bit of a roadie to the North of Boulder, up I36 then East before taking some great backroads back down to Boulder. The pace was fine when suddenly I saw a message on the Forerunner telling me I had a low battery. So I stamped on the pedals and hammered my way back to Boulder so I would get back before it ran out - and I made it....
So they do make you faster....
