Never thought about it as only use it for time distance & pace & when i 1st got it putting my routes om Google Earth. Have only done mile reps since marathon training as that what the program recommendedre that I was measuring distance with the Garmin, tying bits of string on fence posts & stopping & starting it. Now following the twin peaks prog in July RW which I started on before Dublin training & suits my time available & temperament. So today 4 x 800m with 2min rest all worked out by the Garmin & downloaded to show pace/rep. How fantastic. I am truly happy.
