"Your Wrist-Worn Strategist" That Prevents a Slowdown Past the 30km Mark: The Real Reason Garmin Is the Top Choice for Marathons

The fall marathon is fast approaching. To fully demonstrate the results of all your training, the most important factor on race day is “pace management.”
Swept up in the unique excitement of the race and the momentum of the runners around you, you may find yourself picking up the pace too much right after the start without even realizing it—only to hit a wall past the 30-kilometer mark. This is a common pitfall in racing that everyone faces, from first-time marathoners to seasoned veterans.
The reason so many runners choose Garmin as their partner for race day is precisely because it helps them “stay calm and composed” during the race.
Based on your current heart rate and pace, it visualizes in real time “how much your body is currently fatigued” and provides guidance right at your fingertips on a steady, manageable pace. The sense of security—as if an experienced pacer were running alongside you—will sustain you throughout the long haul of a full marathon.
Furthermore, since it can quantify not only your condition on race day but also your daily fatigue levels and sleep quality (conditioning) leading up to the event, this single device provides everything you need to ensure you’re in peak condition when you step up to the starting line.
From the flagship “Forerunner 570” and “Forerunner 970”—designed to support your race day with uncompromising performance—to models that provide powerful assistance for your first full marathon, the Mint Kobe store offers a wide selection. Be sure to stop by as you finalize your gear selection for race day.
