Forerunner Menus
BY JONATHAN MELBY
Forerunner's Main Menu
The main menu is the same on all Forerunner models.
 |
- Run History shows information about past runs that are stored in Forerunner's memory
- Training Assistant allows you to adjust settings for a variety of training aids and alerts
- Navigation lets you mark/find locations and configure map screens
- Settings lets you change your user profile and various system parameters
|
You navigate through menus using Forerunner's up/down and enter buttons. The mode button allows you to back up to the prior menu when you're deeper in the menu structure.
Second Level Menus
Menu structure below the main menu varies somewhat between Forerunner 301 and 101 / 201. These examples are from Forerunner 301.

Differences Between Forerunner 301 and 101 / 201
Run History, Training Assistant and Navigation menus on Forerunner 101 / 201 are similar to the Forerunner 301 screens shown above.
- Advanced Workouts, Routes, and GPS Info are available only on Forerunner 301.
- Forerunner 101 / 201 do not have separate profiles for Running, Biking, and Other sports.
- The Settings menu is completely different (see below).
Settings Menu on Forerunner 101 / 201
The settings menu on Forerunner 101 / 201 is similar to what you'd find under the Settings/General menu on Forerunner 301.
- Forerunner 101 / 201 models have just one sport profile (the "Set Profile" option) instead of separate profiles for Running, Biking, and Other sports.
- Much of what you find under Forerunner 301's sport profiles is related to defining speed and heart rate zones for each sport.
- The concept of "zones" is very limited in Forerunner 101 / 201.
