In an effort to promote marathon and long-distance race and their fitness wearables, Garmin Malaysia officially announced the Garmin Squad Training Camp, available starting today.
The camp is designed to train participants to prepare for 10km and 21km races while experience fitness wearables provided by Garmin. The training will be led by Garmin Coaches which are all qualified fitness trainers and will span across 3 months until June 2020 with 1 or 2 sessions each month. 2 trials will be given: The first for categorizing runner pace and the second for recalibration post-training.
The training is open to anyone as long as they either:
- Submit upcoming race registration receipt or past e-certificates of any race
- Own compatible Garmin smartwatches for the event
All participants will receive a limited edition Garmin Squad Training Camp
jersey (condition upon 80% attendance rate at Week 12) and a 15% discount voucher for Garmin Forerunner 245 series.
Garmin Smartwatch – All-in-One Fitness System
Garmin is also kind enough to loan out the smartwatches for a price, which will become part of the payment if you are interested in purchasing one after the event ends. By doing so, each and every participant will get to experience the packed features provided by the smartwatch and its companion app, Garmin Sports.
The Garmin Sports app is an all-new sports science system from Garmin which automatically integrates stats from their Garmin Connect account, providing fitness instructions and training courses according to the user’s capabilities.
The app can be paired with a big range of Garmin smartwatches including the Garmin Forerunner 245 and Garmin Forerunner 245 Music that comes with a built-in GPS which is highly accurate alongside its long battery life of up to 7 days in smartwatch mode and up to 6 hours in continuous GPS mode. Both watches also offer safety and tracking features, such as the built-in incident detection. With this feature, users can keep their worries at bay as their location can be easily tracked in case of emergencies.
There are also functions that sounds cool yet useful in a sense, such as VO2 max estimation, a feature that measures the maximum amount of oxygen used during intense workouts while essential functions such as 24/7 heart rate monitoring, stress, and sleep
tracking, Pulse Ox sensor are available as well. The Running Dynamics tracker allows users to set goals and monitor their progress as they work to achieve them.
And how does these features combine together and help users in intense training? Well, people tend to underestimate sports injuries such as heart rates or cramps caused by improper usage of muscle strength or inconsistent breathing. With the help of the smartwatch and the companion app, running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, and many more are calculated and displayed to the user, providing feedback and advice to adjust their workout style to optimal condition. That’s why the training camp is here to guide participants on this matter as well.
The camp is available for registration now by heading towards the official page with additional information and the full list of terms, and conditions.
