It's Cyber Monday, which means it's a great time to kit yourself out if you're planning to get fit in 2023. Couch to 5K and similar programs are a really good way to get started on your running journey, but it can be really helpful to have additional guidance along the way.
Right now you can pick up the Forerunner 45 for just $118.99 at Walmart in the US, and £99.99 at Wiggle in the UK, one of the best Cyber Monday deals for beginner runners. Check out the deals in full below.
The Cyber Monday Garmin deals can help you score a cheap Garmin watch to guide you along your running journey, and this Forerunner is perfect for beginners. The best Garmin watches are used by serious athletes, from ultra-marathoners to world-class cyclists, but the entry-level Garmin Forerunner 45 can help advise burgeoning athletes of all levels, whether you're hoping to take on a park run later in the year or you're gearing up for a half-marathon.

Why get this deal?
Because it's a better value buy than most Fitbits at this low price, which are comparably priced (although you can check out the Cyber Monday Fitbit deals if you'd prefer one of those).
The Forerunner 45 can tell you how fast you're running and how much effort you're putting in, and compare it with previous runs. It'll add up the total amount of exercise you've done in any given week, helping you to hit your goals. The in-app Garmin Coach will provide a training plan to help you achieve any distance from 5K all the way up to a half-marathon, meaning it'll be a constant companion throughout your running journey. Well worth the investment.
I remember first getting started running as a teenager, and I just ran free without training or guidance. Not knowing how to pace myself or properly structure my training, I would frequently run too hard and too fast, thinking I was fitter than I was.
Information about your run, such as how hard your heart is working and how fast you're running compared to your average pace, would have helped enormously during my runs at the time, while Garmin's advanced programming tools now allow me to plan my training in advance. Plus, it's quite cheap, and many people first beginning their fitness journey might not want to spend hundreds of dollars or pounds on a watch.
It's swimproof, with up to seven days of battery life and 24/7 heart rate monitoring, meaning you barely need to take it off. Wear it for long enough and the Body Battery feature can tell you how well you've recovered after exercise, and when you're ready to hit the road again. It's honestly a game-changer. If you're a beginner runner, there's no need to spend hundreds on a device overtuned for your needs: this tried-and-true, reasonably priced running buddy will fit the bill.
