(yes, i know its obvious, but i just wanted to make you feel better knowing that perceived exertion is the best measure anyway!)

It looks like the miCoach Pacer is pretty good for the dollars and does it all minus the GPS part which is probably not that big an issue for a runner anyway.

You only need a foot pod for recording runs/walks indoors. The one well two "advantages" of the 310XT is that you can use it swimming and it is a GPS oh and it gives you visual feedback in use; the miCoach pacer does not do any of this. Of course depends how important this is to you.

Hi
Yes and yesI have for now decided to stick with miCoach on the iPhone as it is free and I have an iPhone. As I get more into running I might revisit this if I want to add HRM and/or visuals. At that point it would be a toss up between Pacer and the 310XT.
One thing to consider is that 310XT would be more suitable for the HIM that you are planning to do

Yes, that is true. Now you are just confusing me... it would be good to be able to set a multisport pace to keep me on track so I don't blow up or go too slow. I believe the Garmin has that capacity. miCoach requiring an mp3 player would not be fit for purpose in a tri...
Decisions, decisions

miCoach Pacer does not require an mp3 player ... you just plug earphones into it to get spoken to. It can work with a mp3 player of course if you want music as well. It will override the mp3 when ever you need to be spoken to too.
I just happen to use the iPhone application but it lacks the pod and HRM of course.

All in all, the FR-60 is my favorite watch for all around use. And from a Garmin standpoint, it ranks second only to the Forerunner 310XT. If you’re a new runner looking to get into some basic run and cycling data, the FR-60 makes for a great choice. But even in my case as an ‘advanced runner’, I love the FR-60 because of the fact that it’s small and normal looking, and I always have it on me. I know that at any point in time the watch is ready to jump into action – such as on a training run or in a race if my primary watch fails me or if I don’t want to carry the bulkier one along. And finally, with the addition of the synchronization between the Tanita BC-1000 and the FR-60, it makes for an easy way to get my daily weight details recorded. As I said before, I love it. So much so that I ended up purchasing one for myself (the demo unit heads back tomorrow), and my girlfriend also liked it so much she ended up getting one too (pink, of course, in case you are curious…).

Enjoy playing with it Greg. Have you seen the new models Garmin has come out with? Trust them to do it just when you buy yours.
