Garmin Forerunner 205 free to a good home
Counter to the naked running trend that seems to have us in its grip, I've been having a clear-out, and find I still have a Garmin Forerunner 205 (I now use a 405. It's free to a good home if anyone would like it.

RE:
For what it's worth I'm not against these devices. I just find, as I return to running after injury/illness, that removing control elements frees me up to enjoy running for its own sake. It's been a liberating experience.

I'm still on my F205. Basic, perhaps, but reliable. Will use again for pacing sprint reps/ hills reps (coming soon) and long-distant sessions (coming later). I'll need them. I have big plans for 2015.

RE:
Just back from one actually, MLCMM — four miles over Seaford Head. I may even catalogue it later.
I agree, Sweder, when I've run without one, usually because I forgot to charge it, I do find it liberating.

Good to hear, Tom! I look forward to perusing your catalogue.

I've never really run sans technology, but I did ignore it for a couple of years, i.e. ran with a watch but didn't look at it, and didn't keep a spreadsheet of those runs. In the end however, I realised I wasn't running nearly as much, and really didn't enjoy it any more for being 'free' of the gadgets.

Guess I'm just too much of a number slut.

RE:
I'll take it off your hands Tom - nice and local too. Smile

I had one of these once but it got nicked. Having another might just make me end my err...two year taper.

RE:
It's yours, SP. Remind me of the address and I'll drop it round. It's got a plug and everything.

You mean it was you that stole it, Tom? Tongue
