Polar RS800SD

Pros and cons of metronome training

http://www.yourrunning.com/forum-metronome_training#comment-4303

Q: When training, is it best to learn to run at a pace using a metronome? Or is it more important to use a heart monitor and focus on aerobic vs. anaerobic?

Simon says:
You can't learn the fine art of pace judgement using a metronome. What you can use it for is to check and, if you need to, to improve your cadence -- your footstrikes per minute.

Polar RS800 SD -- take two
Posted by simon on 6/14/2007 on simon's blog

OK, that was my first mistake. Now I've installed the software that comes with the RS800SD and read up on the gizmo, I realise I can't really compare this with my old Garmin. The Garmin is basically a GPS with a heart rate monitor attached. The Polar RS800 is a total running computer providing more information than, at the moment, I know what to do with. :)
