Heart rate monitors have provided athletes and sports enthusiasts with the ability to keep a watchful eye on their training. Many companies are incorporating online and desktop training software to enhance their product line.
Polar Protrainer 5
Protrainer 5 is a desktop software program developed by Polar. It is a five-step approach to heart rate training. You are able to develop a plan, train, upload the data from your training files, analyze the data and adjust your training to suit your needs. In addition, you can create up to 21 pre-planned training sessions that can be transferred to the wrist unit.
Garmin Training Center
The Garmin Training Center is a desktop software application that allows you to track your training progress and develop alternate workouts based on the data you produce. Since Garmin is a GPS-enabled heart rate monitor, the training software also allows you to take a close look at the routes you run.
Suunto Movescount.com
Movescount.com is an online training community created by Suunto. It provides much of the same data that you can get with a desktop software application, but it also allows you to speak with other community users to get training tips and pointers.
