I recently purchased the Polar FT4. I'm thankful I did because it is just what I needed. When I just started off running I just ran. I did not know how fast to go or how slow, I just did it. Now that I have been running for a few months and decided to give a marathon a go, I wanted to get a little bit more serious about this running thing!
So I decided I needed a heart rate monitor.
After two weeks of using my Polar FT4, I can say that it I am sooo impressed with its features. Aside from the calorie and time tracking feature, I just love that heart rate monitor feature. I did not know how much too fast I was actually running! And running is actually more enjoyable at a normal pace too ... :)
Now, I can easily track my fitness progress based on heart rates with the help of this awesome tool. And oh, it is also waterproof and I love that I can use it while I'm swimming too.
I am happy I started running with a heart rate monitor. I can advice any beginning runner to get the Polar FT4 or a similar heart rate monitor. It is really cool and helpful.
