This community is a place for runners of all skill levels to train together, exchange tips, and use Garmin technology to track their progress.
One of the members of the Garmin Run Club who is also a person with a disability, Herlina, told how this community helped her increase her motivation to run.
He also said, “we all support each other, and with the help of the Garmin device, I can monitor my progress better.
At Garmin Run Club, Herlina often gets tips on how to train to warm up, running options pace In particular, cool downs and tips help me to improve my running performance.
Not only that, Herlina also mentioned that wearable technology from Garmin, such as smart watches with GPS features and heart rate monitoring, really helps runners to achieve their best performance.
