Measuring Nordic Skiing Workouts Using the Garmin Forerunner

Vacation means free time, which in my case resulted in a new tutorial:

• Measuring Nordic Skiing Workouts Using the Garmin Forerunner

There are actually three viewing options:

• AVI Format
• PPT Source Format
• YouTube

The Powerpoint version will provide the highest quality images, but take the longest to load via the web.

Please note your workout data loads automatically into the SportTracks software via a USB cable provided with your Garmin Forerunner. Should you wish to measure your own cross-country skiing workouts, here is what you will need:

• Garmin Forerunner (I use the 305 model)
• SportTracks Software (free)

In addition, you may find this blog review of SportTracks and these additional screenshot tutorials useful. Here is one image from my Garmin using the SportTracks software (click to view full sized). Although my examples are oriented towards cross-country skiing, one could measure running and cycling workouts in the same manner.

Please also visit my MinnSki Portal (cross-country skiing in Minnesota). You will find not only these tutorials, but many Garmin measured ski trails, a custom Google search engine which focuses upon cross-country skiing in Minnesota ... and much, much more.
