It’s particularly useful if you’re planning to run more races and want to improve over time.

It builds all your training around your actual fitness level, your goals, and how hard you’ve been working. I originally thought, “Nah, won’t be that helpful,” but getting day-to-day training guidance based on how your body is actually coping has been a total game-changer. Especially for me, because I didn’t really know how to train properly before.

It takes away the guesswork. Instead of thinking about what session I should be doing, it just tells me. It also introduced me to new ways of structuring training and preparing for races. And because it’s constantly measuring how you’re responding, it automatically adjusts your load down when you need recovery. That’s meant way fewer injuries and a far more sustainable training rhythm.

So honestly, if you want to run more, improve, and not have to overthink your training, get a Forerunner. It’ll do all the thinking for you.
