Having Garmin Training Centre software and downloading to that doesn't install or set up the plugin that FE needs. But like ptb says, just follow the link (there's even a link for how to test it) on the FE "upload training" page. :-)G

macca - I can only think that you didn't reset/save the first run, and so the second one just carried on from where you left off. Do you know to press-and-hold the lap/reset button once you've hit stop for the end of your run (after you looked at the figures if you want to). It resets all the counters to zero and stores the run.

Alan - where it says "Problems? If you get an error message saying that you don't have the Garmin Communicator Plugin, you can download it from the Garmin website. Choose PC or Mac. Once you've downloaded and installed the plugin, you can check it's working correctly by going to the test page on the Garmin website. " over there... -->> after you get teh error message. Click on those links! :-)G

Again, ptb beat me to it macca. You have to reset between runs. If you just hit "stop" it thinks you're just going to the loo or something (overnight!) and then when you hit start it treats it all as one run. Lap/Reset button, hold for 3 seconds, it counts down to zero and all the numbers are reset to zero. Then you're ready to start your next run as a separate log! :-)G

Help! My garmin 305 cannot be recognised by the garmin training centre on my computer so I can't download any of my runs nor recharge my garmin :( does anyone know how to fix it. (Apologies if this has already been asked but I'm being lazy having seen there are 112 pages of comments to wade through ;) )

Always last
Have you read the article (see link in first post of first page)??? Read it through a couple of times once I'd ordered my 305, and it's really helpful.
