First Time Used Fenix 3 HR for Running

Assalamualaikum and hi all,

This post is quick review of my previous running event, SP Half Marathon 2016 on September 10 2016. This was about 2 weeks ago, but only today I've mood to write. This was not my first SP half Marathon, instead the third time. The last two was in 2013 and 2014. 

Since the i joined this SP Half Marathon since 2013, there is no major change of route. The route for 2016 still follow the previous route except some minor changes at the end. Started at Dataran Zero Jam Besar, the runner passed through Jalan Sungai Layar and then entered Jalan Lencongan Barat. After u-turn at traffic light near Giant Hypermarket, runner followed Jalan Kampung Sungai Jagung. After passed through Jalam Taman Orkind and Jalan Sungai Layar, the marathon end at Dataran Zero.

As for me, I improved my performance with the time 3:01:38. This is individually good for me but if compared with the rest, this far than normal average people who finished mostly within 2 and half hour. I ran maintained the pace within 10km but then have to reduce my speed due to the pain on my feet.

What make this SP Half Marathon different from others running events I've joined was for the first time ever I used the sportwatch to track my performance. I used the Garmin Fenix 3 HR which I bought a week before to track my pace, time and other running related analysis. Of course, having this watch will not improve my performance but at least it give the chance to improve by trying to beat my best recorded time and improve fitness. Like all the Garmin product, Fenix 3HR can be connect to Garmin Connect to  download my performance data to laptop or smartphone.

Data uploaded to Laptop showed my running information during the SP Half Marathon 2016





Insya-Allah, if I've time I will write review on Garmin Fenix 3 HR, Garmin Connect and what running analysis that we can monitor. 



Yes, Get Fit, Don't Quit.


Relaxlah!!!
