You can download training schedules for it, which for a novice like me is excellent.

Sweatshop are currently knocking the Garmin 205 out a bit cheaper than usual.

Add the Garmin and the Asics Kayano's together and you soon find out that running is not a cheap hobby, which to me was a suprise.

I actually managed to get a pair of trainers changed due to it as they had started to fall apart and I had an acurate record of the mileage due to the Garmin, so got them replaced without too much trouble.
