Garmin Forerunner series, Forerunner 101, Forerunner 201, Forerunner 301 Features

Forerunner™series

Whether you’re a triathlete in training or

just want to see tangible results, meet

your new personal trainer — the Garmin

Forerunner. These wrist-mounted devices

use GPS satellites to tell you how far, how

fast, even how to get home. And for

advanced training, the Forerunner 301

features a continuous heart rate monitor

so you can see whether you’re training

too hard or not hard enough. All models

in the Forerunner series are extremely

easy to use. There’s no calibration

required, so you’ll be off and running in

no time. You don’t even have to think

about starting and stopping the timer or

punching the lap button to record stats

— Forerunner does it automatically.

Personal trainers with speed, distance and pace.
