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
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Badger, I'm prety sure it didn't used to do it, and the 301 definitely didn't.

I now use it, but set the distance to be longer but with the same pace. It means I can still use the 'little man' screen as sometimes I don;t like to look at the actual numbers during a race. And like you, i tend to set my pace a second or two a mile faster to allow for deviations from the racing line.

flanker: I meant to say "a feature of the 305 *now*", sorry. It's behaving as it's designed to, even if it's bad design and you should at least have the option to make it behave the way it did before. Completely agree with you that it's not a nice feature, but it is the way it works :(

Has anyone seen the training program download on Runners World? I'm in for FLM 08 and have been putting off programming in a very detailed running program to the software/ Garmin.

With the RW/Garmin download, you just plumb in your race date, your target time or pace and it creates both a trg prog in the Garmin software, which you can then download onto the Garmin.

Top stuff. The site is on:

runnersworld.co.uk

Sorry if it's old news, but I've just downloaded a pretty good trg plan (that I can then alter on the Garmin software, if required) that will take me upto April 13th.

I did a 1 hour 16 minute tun the other day. The software said i did it in 18 minutes yet still had the distance as 7.72 miles. "WFT?", I thought, scracing my head like a puzzled Columbo.

I like the ahead/behind feature of the virtual partner, but the little pictures of the runners seem to be a waste of space.

Does anyone know if there is a way of setting up the display so that you can see the ahead/behind, plus other fields such as distance, pace or time on the same screen?
