Well in three weeks time and about 20 games ( I would say half AR’s) I have ran logged just over 89 miles with my Garmin 405. The watch is deadly accurate which surprised the hell out of me. I tend to forget to put on the HR monitor for some reason. Probably because I don’t care about my HR in games like I do when I am just out for a run.
Lets use last night as an example. I only had one game 4A varsity boys match which went 3-1 so it was close enough. First half I didn’t wear the HR monitor. In 41 minutes of play I logged 2.66 miles in the center. Second half I did wear the HR monitor and average 122 with a high of 160. I logged 2.45 miles in the second half. Not bad for a easy 5 miler…
Let me tell you this is a cool tool to have if your a data geek like me. I have 2 AR’s on Wednesday and 2 more on Thursday (I guess it is my turn to step outside for both games) and then one center on Friday night. I will update the stats from these games along with screen shots from the garmin software.
