Getting fit (with the help of a Philips Activa)

    I sprung for one of these a while back: http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=13352&langId=111&searchTerms=Philips+Activa&authToken= because I am looking to get into some sort of shape and I love gadgets :P I thought maybe people would be interested in seeing how the device performs.

    It's a great little device really, I really recommend it. It not only records your performance for review later on the PC, but has around 3.5 gigs of space for music, which really keeps me going.

    So I went out for a very short run today. I took a screengrab of my performance that the Activa recorded.

    That huge dip was when it was raining and I was under a tree :P (which also explains the time, by the way :D). I'm going back out for a run tomorrow, and will probably drop by L.A. fitness, I bought six weeks membership with them through citydeals a week or two ago.

    Updates tomorrow.

    the kcal/min reading seams very jumpy, and i mean through out. Maybe its just stopping at raods, lights etc. But i'd like to see what display it gives for a stead y run.
    How does it calc distance?
    How does it calc calories.
