Professional and amateur runners alike benefit from the motivation of tracking progress over time. This is about more than motivation, however. An important part of steady fitness progression is incremental increases in minutes, speed, and distance. The Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS watch is a powerful ally for runners and hikers. Learn more about how this watch can aid your training program.

One Button Access and User-friendly Controls
The Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS watch features one-button access to time and distance, which is immediately available after you open the package. Calories and pace are loaded on a second screen. These four measurements can be displayed on a single screen with customized button controls. This light watch uses a backlight and large face to accurately display information in low visibility situations.

Biofeedback for Motivation and Safety
Training requires attention to detail. If you push yourself too hard one day, you'll face negative performance ratings for a week or even risk injury. The general rule is to never exceed distance or minutes by more than 10 percent in a given week. Pace setting with the Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Watch prevents you from accidentally breaking this important rule.

Biofeedback is also important for anyone using exercise as a means of getting healthier. Research shows most cancers, heart disease, and other diseases respond well to high-intensity exercise, but care must be taken to avoid injury. Since exercise needs can change from week to week based on the types of treatment and disease progression, biofeedback with the Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Watch is a life-saving tool.

Tools for Training
Virtual pacing and other features are accessible directly through the watch and through Garmin Connect. The super-sensitive Garmin GPS will let you know when it's time for a walking break. It also stores routes and distance for effortless uploads. You'll see progress in total terms, or you can break it down by day, week, or year for comparisons between present and future performance.

Goal-setting and safety are important for any exercise program. The Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS watch makes it easier to reach your goals.
