You are on a quest to better fitness. It would easy if you had an expensive trainer tracking your progress and motivating you out into the wilderness (driveway). But that is highly unrealistic for the majority of us. A better alternative and running buddy is the Suunto Quest Running Pack that can do everything a trainer does without screaming in your ear.

With so many functions on the Quest, you don't even need a trainer. Start by planning your program through Movescount.com including training reminders for date, time, duration and intensity and then download them into the pack. While you are out in the wild (down the street), you can play with the stopwatch, lap counter, running cadence, and real time speed and distance functions so you can get a serious sweat session under your belt. For those of you particular to tri-sports or water rats, you can take your watch up to 30 m / 100 ft under water. Training for a marathon in another country? You have a choice of 9 languages to choose from, just make sure your 26-miler is in one of those countries. When you're done, upload your progress onto Movescount.com to see stats and graphs of heart rate, speed, and calories. Forget the trainer, your quests are reachable.
