The TrainingPeaks team recently caught up with member Todd Straka along the Bobolink Trail in Boulder. Mainly a marathon runner, Todd trains with a Garmin Forerunner 305 to track his pace and heart rate. Last year, he completed the Boston marathon where he ran a time of 2:44:51, and next on Todd's list is the Denver Marathon in October.
