Heart rate monitors. Your thoughts on Garmin 305. I am a level 2 coach (soccer). Entering a very big pre-season in Nov. From info gained via the web, this HRM seems to have all the required functions for a detailed, well structured training programme. Would appreicate your feedback. Kind regards. TB

Hi Tom,
Yes I would highly recommend the Garmin for your soccer coaching. I use it for marathon training with clients and it works fantastically. There are programs you can program into the watch or download from the web. These include things like interval training programs (eg program into watch run for 1km, rest two minutes, repeat x 4).
It's important to RTFM (read the F** manual) though. If you try to work it out without understanding the inner workings of the watch you can get unstuck.
Enjoy!
Amelia
