Garmin v. Suunto v. Nike v. Other?
I've been looking for something to help me train. Everytime I go out running, I always feel like I'm just thrashing about. I had a heart rate monitor which I used on the treadmill but, alas, that has failed me because 1) it's out of batteries and 2) it only measures heart rate, not how fast you should be running.I'm currently debating between one of the following:Garmin 301 (GPS, no footpod needed) - $325
Suunto t6 (footpod extra) - $449
Polar M61 (footpod extra, but very cool fabric heart electrodes) - $169
Nike Triax Elite (footpod included) - $360
I'm not particularly partial to anyone based on brand name, but I am leaning towards the REALLY expensive Suunto, only because it has the nice feature to really focus my workouts... to be as hard as is useful but no harder. Anyone tried any of these for coaching?
