Understanding GPS Runners Watches

By Najib Rahman

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has been utilised in a vast range of products, from Sat Nav systems for your car, to your cell phone. The good news is that this technology has also been implemented into runners watches!

As you may expect, this indeed allows you to track your location as you run! A good GPS watch will allow you to know your exact location with very low interference, whether you are round the corner from your house, or on the open road in a completely different continent! The most obvious benefit of this is that you can run any route you want without having to research where you are going first, as your watch will pick up where you are so you can check which way you need to go. However, the benefits of GPS runners watches go much further than this.

This sophisticated technology will allow you to accurately detect not only how far you have run, but also how far you have left to go and at what pace you are doing it! This is possible as the GPS will calculate the distance you have run, divide this by the time it has taken, which will then produce your speed. GPS watches will do this at short intervals, allowing you to see your speed almost instantly as you speed up or slow down! Many watches will also allow you to set a route, so that you can bring up the distance to the end and as a result, how fast you need to be running to beat your target time! This is such a useful feature which is invaluable in helping you reach your performance goals, particularly when your watch also has a pace alert feature, which will give you a hurry up bleep if you are slacking!

Many GPS runners watches will also factor in the elevation of the land you are running on. As incredible as this seems, it allows you to account for a slower pace on an uphill climb, and also means you won’t be able to think you’re the next Usain Bolt when gliding down to lower ground! Which I like to do in any case!

The effectiveness of these features can be improved yet further with the use of some optional extras. Many GPS watches will also come with a foot pod. You can attach these to your feet, which in turn can record your stride length and further heighten the accuracy of your pace. So if you are not the worlds tallest person, you can compare your pace on a more level playing field to some of your taller buddies. Furthermore, many of these watches will also come with a heart rate monitor, which can provide essential information on how your body is coping. This will enable you not only to know when you should either speed up or slow down, but also how your fitness is improving with every run.

All the information provided by a GPS runners watch is great whilst you are on the go, but is also invaluable once you have finished your run. Many watches come with the facility to upload your data onto your computer, meaning that you can analyze the results once you are back home. This means you can see where you need to improve, and where you are not pushing yourself hard enough. Training schedules can then be tailored to an incredibly efficient level, so that you will improve quicker and reap the rewards of your hard work in a shorter time than if you were not using this fantastic piece of equipment.
