I agree that the web site is the key, like the brilliance of the Itunes software itself. I am in awe of the way you plug the nano into your usb and it downloads your latest podcasts, charges, and uploads your latest runs – it’s proper useful software!
The goals and linking up with a “virtual” running club are excellent concepts.

I have to say the Polar also gives you heart rate & altitude so not only do you know how far you’ve been but how much you’ve climbed and how much “work” you were doing at the time. It makes it much easier to track personal progress over time and also to compare different routes.

I guess there’s a discussion to be had about “the right tool for the job” – I don’t use the phone or media player in my phone, when I want to take pictures I use my DSLR, when I want music I plug in my shuffle (even then I don’t use the generic apple phones but specific sports phone better suited to my needs)

‘mutually inclusive’ methinks? or is it one of these things which means the same as the opposite exclusive/inclusive? sorry I’ve irritated myself now!

That polar running watch looks really interesting…

Yeah I guess, although if you’ve read that far hopefully you realise the two are mutually exclusive!
