Good news for Garmin GPS watch users with smartphones.

Well, fairly good anyway:

Basically its the runkeeper app but with a link directly into Garmin connect, plus if you are willing to lay out £40 you can get a device for you phone which will read your heart rate/ foot pod/ cadence sensor,

The nice thing about this is that it does mean you can use your iPhone instead of your GPS watch if, say, you forget to charge it (My wife does this a lot) or don't take it with you when travelling abroad. (which I do a lot).

You can also show off your recent workouts to your running mates in the pub/cafe regardless of which device you recorded them on. Lets pretend thats a good thing rather than a slightly sad one...
