I am having trouble with my Polar 610i HRM. I am looking at replacing. Today I picked up a Garmin Forerunner 405. I am having 2nd thoughts. Does anyone have...
My suggestion would have been to look at one of the Polar models w/ GPS. They are more reliable from what I have heard. Now, the PC/Web interface features of...
I have a Garmin 305 and a 405. Not sure which one I like the best. Had the Garmin 305 for over a year and the 405 for about 5 months. I like the 405 for size,...
Steve, I have had the Garmin Forerunner?305 for just shy of 2 years.? For an anal retentive accountant (yes, I know that is redundant) I am very pleased with...

I would like to thank all for the input on the Garmin HRM's. I did purchase the 405 from Dick's, then I returned today. J. The main reason I did not keep was I...

I am still trying to understand hip drop. When I make my stride I do get a feel that I am getting hip rotation(back and forward movement). I am not sure my...
Steve, Don't create a hip drop!!!! It takes us years to retrain those who have exaggerated hip drop to minimize it. There is no advantage to having hip ...
To further what Tom said, any excess hip movement (up, down, in, out) is the result of poor mechanics caused by weak glute, hip & core muscles and accentuated...
Hi Steve, I've been thinking about this some. Here are my thoughts on the purpose of the hip drop: The hip drop is on the side opposite the straightened leg,...
MJR, Maybe the new baby is causing me to become a pacifist. I agree with Michael as well! May I add: If your coach teaches hip drop, drop your coach instead. ...
Steve/Tom, Tom: I saw the heading and assumed we'd get into a fistfight. We don't completely agree on all things hip, but I find myself in complete agreement...
Hello Steve, The section that you are referring to is on page 19-21 in Race Walk Clinic - in a Book, and while the diagrams might make it seem that there is a...
I would like to THANK all for their comments. You have made it much clearer to me. It has been confusing when you see all the different styles of these great...
I'm, going to have to agree with Mr. Bohlen and disagree with all the other esteemed commentators, successful athletes, coaches and learned racewalk scholars...
Ray, I don't think anyone is disagreeing that hip-drop exists or has its place. The point is that it shouldn't be forced or overemphasized. Your analysis of...
