Running Watch recommendations for Speedwork

Vikki Roberts

Hi all,

I am looking for some recommendations on running watches. I currently use runkeeper on my phone to record "normal" runs (straightforward recording of time, distance, pace and route but with no alerts as to when I drop below a target) but I want something that I can use for speedwork. I struggle to know how fast I'm running laps and so can't then beat my times in the sessions.

I had a garmin 405 but the battery died so I'm wondering whether I should get the battery replaced (about £78) or get something else and if so, what?

Help, opinions and suggestions appreciated! Thanks!
