running padomaters?

[dave0010]

I think this is the right word for what im after.

Basically something that will measure the distance you run just like you would have on a push bike.

I have tried to google search it but cant find anything and would really like one for a birthday present

pedometer - buy a running GPS instead.

this is a area I have no experience of what's one of those

A little bit more info is needed really. What do you want to get out of one?

A running GPS is basically a wearable GPS that will log your runs and give you calories, distance, time, etc. at its most basic level. The more advanced ones will log your route too and do things like elevation, heart rate, etc.

Decide what features you need and proceed from there. Oh and Garmin are the leaders in this area.

Something like this http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&amp...

that is just the link I needed as it has a whole load of product reviews.

Its for my brother who is keen on running and has mentioned before he wanted one before so will do the job nicely.

thanks very much
