The t4c formulates their intelligent recommendations by utilizing an accurate measurement of how hard you have trained – or TE (Training Effect).  The t4c calculates your personal Training Effect by monitoring your heart rate data from your personal fitness profile and combines it with an analysis of you physiological progress in real time.  Your heart rate monitor then formulates your Training Effect, presented as a number on a scale from 1-5. 

Using your Training Effect as a guide, Suunto Coach monitors and adapts your program automatically.  It adjusts your schedule for the next five days to ensure you get the right amount of exercise in each phase of training.

If your activity level decreases, Suunto Coach monitors and adapts your program automatically.  It adjusts your schedule for the next five dys to ensure you get the right amount of exercise in each phase of training.

Other key features of the Suunto t4c include real-time average heart rate, real-time calories burned, and speed and distance with the optional Suunto PODs.  Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm and stop watch with split/lap.

We were worried about hypothermia it was so cold. I was glad that I had remembered to put my Craft ProZero Extreme base layer on. After taking a couple of wrong turns we made it back to the trailhead parking lot, albeit with a 3 mile detour for a total of 11.2 miles. I couldn’t help but smile when the other guys were colder than I was, and had scoffed at me when I left the parking lot. While I may have looked overdressed starting our run, I was the only one whose core was still warm.

So how can I become faster by owning a computer you ask?  By shedding pounds off your body because you are working out at Zone 2 and burning your fat stores instead of burning off the food you ate today.   You will become faster when you increase your power output on the bike.  Of course you first need to know what your power output is. You can know, instead of just feel, you are improving on the bike by tracking your training rides and seeing your performance increase or decrease over the season. 

So which computer should you get?  Well if you are on a budget a good Cat Eye or Blackburn may do the trick.  If you’re not on a budget then SRM is the way to go.   After looking at all the 2010 Cycling Computers entirely I am going to purchase the Garmin Edge 500.  This new Edge 500 does everything I am looking for and is compatible with ANT + technology.  So when I convince my wife I really do need a power tap wheel I will not have to switch out my computer, for more info check out the video below.
