I have just bought myself a lovely forerunner 305 after a long time of saving my pennies.

Advice please on which of the 3 training methods/software you all use.

Do you use the Garmin training centre, Training peaks or Motion based.

I know its all personal preference but I'm sure one will be the best.

I use the Garmin Training Center and then use the agent to upload to Motionbased to export to Google Earth. I find I can do everything I need in the Training Center.

I'm not too sure about which is best for everyone but I would use the GTC all the time. For instance I divide up my training so it looks like:

Running
-2007
- January
-My Trainers - Nike
Then I can see how much milage each pair of running shoes gets and how many miles I'm doing in a month / year.

Hope that helps.

Motionbased is good if you want to share stuff on the web.
