I know the post is 2 weeks old but let me add my 2 cents. I am an intermediate/advanced rider and I have been this for a while. My suggestion is to get properly fitted and then look around, fit is critical for a good ride. Also, try to ride as many demo's as possible, this will help narrow your decision down to what best…

I have a Suunto as well, which I have had for about 8 months. When I work out the longer I work out it seems the calories increase at a higher rate, but it would not explain the large discrepancy. I believe Suunto uses a different calorie counting algorithm, this may explain the discrepancy. As I understand there is also…

I hope I am not to late for this post am I, I haven't been on the web version of MFP in sometime. Hydration will be key for the endurance racing, during the race make sure you drink plenty liquids this is obvious. If you are sweating a lot, drink some sport drink to regain the sodium that your body is losing. Carbohydrates…

Yes, I have been to the bored side of working out. I have changed my routine about every 2 months, according to my research this is typical and recommended. I would suggest looking at bodybuilding.com for articles and ideas to help with the dilemma,

I just purchased a Suunto T4d, the Suunto is sometimes on the pricey side but I wear it as an everyday watch as well. I have had it for about 1 month, still trying to learn how to use some of the features, but the basic features are pretty easy to use. I did alot of research on Heart Rate monitors before I purchased, the…

Wanderinglight, I just purchased a Suunto T4d through Amazon, I waited until the unit went on sale before I purchased. I got it yesterday and today was my first workout day with it. I believe it will take a little time to get used to it, there is a lot of functions to the watch. I will update you on the purchase later, but…

I am interested in seeing some other responses, I am in the market for an HRM and I have limited my search between Suunto (T4d, T6d) and a Polar. I have noticed that Polar has switched some of there units to "user battery replaceable", but they still don't recommend it do to the water proof seal. As for the Suunto, I am…

Yes, I got bored even at a large Gym. I added interval training which keeps me focused on the exercise and helps increase my cardio, it also adds a nice break to the boring treadmill, stationary bikes routines that I use. I usually do 2 intervals a week, they can be pretty intense. Other than that I listen to the ipod…

I just started using protein shakes within the past couple of weeks. The protein shakes help curb my appetitie, but I do not use it as a meal substitute, so I compensate the calories. I typically have two shakes a day, once after workout for muscle recovery the other after lunch or afternoon snack. I have seen suggestions…

Like a lot of the above users, I try to keep my meals equal through out the day. Breakfast 300-400 Morning Snack 100-200 Lunch 300-400 Afternoon Snack 100-200 Dinner 500-800 The only difference is my dinner is higher, but I usually don't have an after dinner snack.

During the off-season I only exercise during the morning, getting up at 5:15 to head to the gym. Typically workout for 1.5 hours. During the on-season, I get to the gym at 6:00AM then get 1.0 hour workout, but I lunch time I typically do an 8 mile course on a singlespeed mountain bike, this typically takes about 50 minutes…
