Does anyone have the "Basis Peak" smartwatch/monitor?
I just wondered if anyone out there owns a Basis Peak health/fitness monitor/smart watch? Can I pick your brains for a minute?

I do the occasional half marathon, and usually finish within a few minutes of 2 hours, so I'm far from an elite athlete. I travel to most events by car or train, so don't exert myself much beforehand. There's one event which is about 4 miles from where I'm stay, and I usually walk or slowly jog to that. In that event, I…

Erm, I've signed up to do a 5k Race for Life in June! :eek: Apologies in advance to all you sporty types on here but I'm more used to waste reduction than waist reduction!
