Pedometers are only like $15-20
Use that with your stopwatch...
I used to drive the course in my car or on a bike to get the distance
and then run it
Or run in a park where the trail lengths are already mapped
Anybody know of any cheap mile tracking watches?
I'm looking to do my long distance running off the track, so it can be a bit more interesting. But at the same time I would like to time myself and keep track of the miles for recording purposes.
I looked around at Dick's Sporting Goods today, only to be dissapointed with triple figure price tags. Any good places to shop for a basic watch? I could care less what else it has as long as it can track milage and be a stopwatch.
Thanks

Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation

But where did you find it!? There is a target locally, should I check there? I can't say I've seen one in years, but then again I don't look out for them.
I too have used the tripmeter to judge milage, but I think it sometimes hurts me when I know exactly how far to run... I want to zone out at times and just put down as many as I can, without thinking anything about it.
There's a company called Garmin which makes a product called the Forerunner - they use GPS systems to track your speed and distance. They just revamped their line so you can probably find a used Garmin 101 on Ebay for less than $100. Most other units will run you over $200 new but if you check Ebay sometimes you can get a good deal. Search under Garmin and see what comes up.
Other good units: Nike Triax (has a shoe pod), Polar RS200 (also shoe pod), and the Timex Bodylink GPS rocks but it is very expensive.
Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.
