Or do I have to use a strap on my chest or something ?

It uses a chest strap.

There are very very few wrist worn heart rate monitors - all have chest straps

Also, is it legal to use something that might be considered a pacing device? I currently run using a Garmin 305 with heart rate monitor. I find that this device gives me a huge advantage when running with my friends. I seem to always know how fast

It depends on the sanctioning body, whether they allow watches or not. Because watches help the runner pace themself, the sanctioning body may consider them an illegal assist to the runner. In this scenario, the issue is not the heart rate monitor function,

Our test team at the Heart Rate Watch Company have been a touch suspect of the Timex GPS watch solutions until recently, but with the recent Timex Run Trainer we do believe they have once and for all got it right. By right we mean built-in GPS, not the dimensions of a small cooler, appears to be an every day watch, has an reasonable selling price, doesn't take 5 minutes to receive satellites, and integrates by means of Training Peaks Online Log.

Thanks to Timex rolling out the Ironman Run Trainer in October of 2011 and offering a under $200 runners GPS watch , this particular heart rate monitor seems positioned to do very well this Christmas.

Electronic Timers Galore

This Timex offers up to 5 programmable repeating timers with labels. This heart rate monitor offers a recuperation timer using a user defined time-span, which seems like a pretty cool attribute. We certainly have always advocated for measuring recuperation to determine how conditioning has improved.

Sunday night, I left work early a few hours, a half-hour drive, Indiana, Pennsylvania, was admitted to the hotel around 8:30 pm. Know, I usually have sleepless nights before the game, I think I have trouble sleeping before the big test. I have everything I need the next morning, obsession / mandatory organize my toiletries, wash my face, put my jammies, and called for Jason to let him know I arrived safely, and said good night. After that, I settled in to watch the "sudden death DIVA" (my favorite guilty pleasure) of the new program.About 9:45 I realized I was really sleepy, so long as the show was over, I closed my eyes, drifting off. I ended the night, awakening only once to use the bathroom, and get a drink, then drop back to sleep. This is wonderful! I am anxiously waiting with about 20 other people, do not know where to go, because the building's front door is locked....

I’m a lucky lady. On Saturday morning the post-lady delivered a parcel with my name on it and I eagerly opened it, with a slightly bemused look on my face. And there it was, a brand spanking new Garmin, complete with heart rate monitor! Edward had bought it to encourage me to keep on running, to give my running a little boost; it will certainly do that. So, I had to give my good old GarminForerunner 201 a last outing while the new one charged up, just a short run which took in the Waterlink Way and an attempt to see if Kent AC do actually meet at the track on a Saturday morning (no, they don’t). As I ran, I thought about all the different things I have done with my Garmin 201: it’s seen me through training and completing three marathons, a couple of half-marathons and numerous shorter distance races. In 2006 it took me on a long journey across Lincolnshire (91 miles over four days, all in the name of art), kept track of the many miles run over the various Juneathons and now a Janathon and has pootled along on all those runs in between, long and short. I mustn’t forget that I originally bought the Garmin to carry out my Trolley Spotting exploits and have used it on other projects since. Ah, what a gem, but on to pastures new that don’t take up half of my arm.
