Back to Running

Started running again today on one of those beautiful cold sunny winter days here in Richmond. Despite all the cycling I have been doing over the past year I found it remarkably tough. A short three mile run was quite enough to begin with.

I used the Nokia Sportstracker application on my N95 to log the route. It's a pretty impressive application using the build in GPS sensor to log distance, elevation speed and time. When you have finsihed your run you can click upload and in a couple of seconds it will send the data to Nokia's Sportstracker web site. You can then see your route on a map and look at your hsitorical data. In addition to logging the route using my phone, I also used it to listen to music as I ran. Truly a multifunctional device. What I really need now is a good arm band type holder for it so that i can don't have to hold it in my hand whilst running. One final request would also be to have a bluetooth heart rate monitor that could send data to the N95 so that I could overlay the heart rate data on the track.
