Garmin Forerunner 305. Works with Ubuntu and Runkeeper!
Running Activity 6.61 km | RunKeeper.
5th km was 4:40.
6th km was barefoot on gravel, cobble stone, and tarmac.
Felt nice to put the shoes back on. They felt incredibly soft and comfy after pounding the gravel barefoot for 5 minutes.
Running Activity 2.38 km | RunKeeper
A bit of speedwork today. I peaked at around 3 min/km, average was 4:47. I set my Garmin Forerunner to autolap, so it beeps after every 1 km. First km was 4:13 minutes today. I’ll probably keep recording my 2.5 km runs.
I ran 2.5 km in a bit over 8 minutes when I was 14, so I have some catching up to do.

Just got my garmin Forerunner 305 to work with Ubuntu 10.04. I hooked it up with connect.garmin.com via the Linux Garmin Communicator Plugin. I had to manually copy the .so file from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to home/USERNAME/.mozilla/plugins to get Firefox to find it. (See Debian installation details.) And it works like a charm. I have an idea it would be better to connect to Runkeeper, but for now this seems easier.
My test walk was on a man-made trail, exactly 1750 meters long, and the GPS shows 1.75km, so not too shabby. Judging from the map it was off a couple of times, though the end result was pretty accurate. Please note that I walked the distance, even I don’t run that slow…
EDIT: Worked with runkeeper too. Think I’ll use that in the future.
