I’ve always been fine to run with as little technology as
possible and have up to now only used a standard Start/Stop watch. However, my
wife decided to spoil me for my birthday last week and got me this state of the
art set of toys…
Polar RS800CX with HR Monitor, GPS and Stride Sensor.
I’ve played with it a little and will do a review after
I’ve tested it properly. Lots of fun so far with great stats to play around
with. I love stats!
It is going well so far! I hope I can keep this trend up for the remainder of the weeks...

Always fun to get new toys! Congratulations on the continued success as well.
Oooooh - running toys are awesome!
Sweet gadgets, cant wait for the review.
Doing great on the challenge, keep it up
Wow! Those are definitely some nice toys - sweet! I ran for years with just a regular watch and was very resistant to getting a Garmin...but once you get one, it adds a whole new dimension, so enjoy!
Love the new toys! It's fun having a wife to spoil you, huh? Especially one who "gets it". My husband "bought" me a Garmin for Christmas, and by bought I mean I ordered what I wanted and he gave me the money for it. :)
Awesome job on the 10K challenge!
That is a cool new toy
The gps is nice, it's always fun to see how fast (or slow) you are going.
Fun new toys! I hope you like them. What a nice wife!!
When you have worked out how to use it give me a shout as I am totally frustrated with my Polar :-(
Sometimes technology is just 'awesome'!!
Great job on the 10k a day :)
I'm curious to hear how you like your new watch. I've been fighting the urge to get a GPS watch as I pride myself on being low tech. It should would make it easier to check on my distance/pace post-run :)
Happy Belated Birthday and enjoy the new toys. I'm sure you will be playing around to figure those out.
Nice job on the mileage!
what a wonderful spouse you have! :) hope it is working well.
I you love stats, you're going to love your new toys. Anette is so goo to you.
Love running toys! Have fun!
Welcome to the techie club. I use my GPS, HR monitor, stride sensor on all runs. They are very helpful IMHO.
Nice running toys! Congrats on the mileage!
You are doing a great job with the challenge! What a great wife to get you just what you wanted. Enjoy playing with them!
What a wonderful gift from your wife!
She knows what you like.
Good job with the challenge.
VERY interested in how the Polar set-up works for you. would be fun to wear a garmin and a polar and see if they measure a route the same.
Looking forward to the review.
Your wife is very thoughtful!
