Do you train with a heart rate monitor? When I was training for my marathon, I found that if I ever got up into the 160's that it was just a matter of time before I was done. But if I kept my hr right around 150, I could keep going as long as I wanted.


Never used one. Is that what I see people wearing around their chest? How much are they? I didn't realize they helped that much.

Check out the Garmin's on Amazon. I have the 305, but I don't think they make it anymore (it's sold on amazon, but way overpriced now). HR monitors are great. If nothing else it gives your mind something to do, constantly setting goals. GPS lets you know exactly where you've been and how far.
