Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Hi

Has anyone had issues with their alert beeper getting too quiet to hear on their 305's? Or any Garmin for that matter!

I can't hear my splits!!

Uncanny - mine sounded like it was bleeping through water the other day.

I hope they don't replace it with an inferior 405.

Hi everyone. Does anyone here know how accurate the calorie counter is on the Garmin 305? On my last run - 9 miles - I, apparently, used 2,239 calories! I'm going to disappear at that rate. Using the HR monitor too. All user details have been entered and are correct, all other measured data appears correct e.g. distance, time, HR.
thanks. Happy running.:-)

reasonably accurate I believe, but it is only an estimate using a standard formula for disance, time and weight. I would have thought an individual's physiology would alkso have a bearing on how much energy the body was burning

e.g. I woul dhave thought that 16 stone of muscles on the move would burn more than 8 stone of muscle with another 8 stone of fat attached since as well as being a weigh to be carried, the muscle is actively using energy.

But I would have thought the number is accrate enough for most people.
