Time to get serious

Posted: 20 December 2010

There are two ways of preparing for the marathon: you can train hard, or you can train right

Robotically pounding out the miles day after day is a lot easier than knowing what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and making every session count. Fortunately Timex have got your back.

>HERITAGE
With over 150 years of watchmaking expertise, and 25 years of experience in the specialist sports-watch arena, they know a thing or two when it comes to producing high-end training devices.

The new Timex Ironman Global Trainer is the latest model in their legendary Ironman Triathlon range of watches – and is the first GPS speed and distance device worthy of the Timex name.

>EVERYONE'S INVITED
Unlike other GPS watches on the market, The Global Trainer is for everyone – crusty-vested club veterans and nervous marathon virgins alike. Timex know that following a schedule can be complicated and intimidating – which is why they designed the Global Trainer to be both practical and functional. In other words, GPS training has come down to earth.

It pretty much does everything except launch a nuclear warhead and it’s so simple to use your granny could get the hang of it between sherries.

You can customise the watch to provide a basic or more detailed setup, and display only the info that YOU want. It’s up to you to use it how you want.

>VITAL
The Timex logo is your guarantee of quality, reliability, and technical excellence. It’s why Timex have been the official timekeeper for the Virgin London Marathon for the past 13 years – and why they’re the official partner of the Runner’s World Pacing Team that will be leading runners round the course at this year’s marathon.

With each pacer required to run at the same speed, mile after mile, it’s vital that the data they get from their watch is accurate – which is why Team RW has chosen the Global Trainer.

And it’s why you should too.
