S/O to "Recommend Your Pedomiter"

Why do you need one?

Re: S/O to "Recommend Your Pedomiter"

I have a Garmin for running so it tracks how my distance, speed, and how many calories I burned. I mostly use it for distance and so I can figure out my average speed.

Alot of people use pedometers to track how many steps they take...they usually have a goal and then try to increase the amount of steps. It's a good way to increase your daily activity level.

Re: S/O to "Recommend Your Pedomiter"

most of my runs (when not pregnant) are about keeping a certain pace. There are studies that show when people speed up or slow down, they do so by a minute or more per mile, so having something to pace you helps to make more minor pace changes.

It's also great for you to get the feel of race pace.

I want a GPS to track my distance and pace for outdoor running. When I run indoors I rely on the treadmill or elliptical to tell me how far/fast I have run, but outdoors I have no way of really knowing.

I have one to calculate the number of steps I take each day. I aim for more than 10,000 per day.
