The Garmin 405 Forerunner makes running so much more enjoyable because you never have to run alone again. Even if you don't have a running partner when you set off, the Garmin 405 Forerunner provides a solution.
In this article, I will show you 3 tips how the Garmin 405 Forerunner will keep you motivated and oriented just like a real life running partner.
Whether you are running, cycling or interval training, this wireless GPS enabled sports watch will keep you striving for more and help you to get the best from your run or workout.
1. Your Virtual Running Partner
Apart from tracking your distance, pace and heart rate, the Garmin 405 Forerunner will pitch your actual performance against your personal goals.
Setting your goals for a number of variables sets up your Virtual Partner. For instance, you set the pace you are aiming for, and when you run you will see in real time how far ahead or behind you are against your Virtual Partner.
2. Garmin Forerunner 405 - Your Indoors Running Partner
This feature will work indoors as well as outdoors. However, indoors running on a track or a treadmill requires the use of a foot pod because the building shields the Garmin 405 Forerunner from the GPS signal. The Forerunner needs one of these to be able to track your performance in real time.
The Garmin foot pod and Forerunner 405 communicate wirelessly. Make sure you pair them before you start using the foot pod for the first time. To avoid interference this has to be done at a distance from other foot pods or ANT+ Sport devices that don't belong to you.
3. Forerunner 405 GPS - Your Local Running Guide
The GPS function of the Garmin 405 Forerunner will record your track once the timer is switched on and the GPS has been enabled.
Enabling the GPS function for the first time requires you to be in line of sight of the sky, that is not under a roof or in the shade of a building. Keep the Forerunner 405 still until the Satellite connection is established. While this can take a few minutes initially, the Forerunner's Hot Fix features gets you off and running in no time when you start your next run.
Your Garmin 405 Forerunner can now serve as your guide in unknown territory. It will take you a second time around a new route or a strange city without you having to remember any of the landmarks and without danger of getting lost. You can even exchange data with a real life running partner who may not know your route. As long as your partner wears a Forerunner 405, you transmit the information wirelessly, and no one will get lost.
To sum up, the Garmin Forerunner 405 is your running partner on your wrist outdoors and indoors and can act as your guide away from home. With this GPS enabled sports watch you never have to run alone. But there is more to the Forerunner 405 than just a running partner.
