Running Watch: Splits

Since our last post was on Running Apparel I firgued I would put some emphasis on different feature of the  running watch. The most useful item is the split. A split simply divides the time on your watch into increments. Most watches display the overall time while showing the split as well.

The running watch is something that is useful for runners of all different levels and skill sets. If your a marathoner then a running watch is useful for keeping tracks of mile repeats.  If your new to the sport of running then having a running watch is useful for keeping track of overall time. Keeping track of overall time will help you to bulild endurance for longer races.

Some basic features that you can expect on a running watch are:
  • Abilty to keep splits
  • Abilty to store splits, generally 50-100 splits
  • Average times
Having the abilty to keep splits is the most useful and basic feature on a stanard running watch. The abilty to keep splits on a watch provides another set of data that can be used to evaluate perfomance. For instance if your running 10 laps around a track a split will tell you where you are getting more fatigued etc.

Stay Tuned for the Next Post on the Countdown Timer!
