Ok got the usual Endomondo etc but jacked in using them as its not really very interesting.

I was looking at getting a new bike computer + cadence + HRM but then i thought why not just use my iphone 4.

Does anyone have or maged to get an Iphone + training peaks as there only device?

What do I need? HRM dongle + some sort of cadence monitor + speed sensor linking to the iphone? Im sure its been done before.

Im Confused!

    Plus some kind of battery extender and some kind of waterproof case (which if you get one specifically for an iPhone you just know is going to be stupidly expensive).

    Probably cheaper just to get a Garmin. IMO there's still no comparison between a proper dedicated cycling (or running) GPS and a phone.
    More problems but still living....
  • I use my I phone 4 and use Runkeeper a free app, you can buy a heart rate monitor attachment for $120.00 from the states.
