Overall, though I found the Bodylink System easy to use and very rewarding. It is true that its modular nature means you have to deal with lots of separate bits but I got used to that very quickly, and on a run I was never aware of anything other than the data the watch gave me to look at.
Furthermore, the benefits do outweight the annoyances of setting the kit up before a run. Not only do I now know the length of all the runs I’ve been doing for the past ten years or so, I know where all the kilometre markers are. I’ve always known I do worst in the fourth mile of a six mile race, but I’ve never before been able to measure quite what goes on there. With forced split times and the heart rate monitor, I’m looking forward, in a perverse kind of way, to finding out how much I really do lose it in the fourth mile. Sadly, the Bodylink System can’t magic up the solution to that problem. Only hard work will do that.
