Run Run Away

Question:

Since a couple of month I’m using the Forerunner. It’s a nice piece of electronics, but the software that Garmin supplies isn’t exactly top. I’ve been searching on the net but I mainly came across mapping software.   What I’m looking is mainly software to analyze my run(s).  Anyone out who has come accross this kind of software? thanks. de groeten, martin http://home.planet.nl/~usa

You might take a look at the Yahoo Group Garminf.  It’s farly active. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/garminf/ D. Wells Remove the numbers to mail me. Include the text "gore-in-2004" (without quotation marks) to ensure you make it past the spam filter.

Analyze your runs ??? To what end ? Or is the said analysis the end and the running the means ? Don’t you have something better to do ? Cheers, — Donovan Rebbechi http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/

Do you not want mapping software? Analyze your runs in what way? Here’s what I do (not sure if this is what you want to do): Download the tracks from Forerunner to PC using G7ToWin Save the tracks as a trk file Import the trk file into MapSource Since MapSource is not directly compatible with the Forerunner, you have to use another program (G7ToWin) to convert the file to a trk file so that MapSource can interpret it G7ToWin is free from http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/g7towin.htm. You can also convert the files to text files and import it into a spreadsheet. Phil M. — "Learn from the mistakes of others.  You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself."
