Review: I guess there are two types of runners--step on the gas and fly by the numbers.

Review: What a gadget.I can pace myself comfortably and continued to lower my times in the 5K through a half marathon. I brought this product for the purpose of training and self motivation. Now those guessing miles are over as far as running goes. There is...
