| Here in 2011 many runners use watches or other devices with GPS to calculate their pace during a run. Only a few years ago the most dependable method was with pace wrist bands. This is how I qualified for my first Boston Marathon by inputing the target data and checking my wrist band kilometre by kilometre to see if I had time in the bank or was falling behind. It doesn't actually have to be on your wrist, it can be pinned to your shirt. I had that first one laminated so it would not disintegrate with sweat, handling, and rain. |
