What equipment do I need to get started?

To get started, you need an iPhone or iPod touch 2nd generation (the 8GB iPod touch is a real bargain if you don't already have one). You need the ithlete ECG receiver, which is included in the price, and will be sent to you following registration on the website. You will also need a regular analogue (5kHz) heart rate monitor chest strap, of the kind that many athletes already have in current use or lying around in a  drawer 

The Equipment section of the website has a list of known compatible models of chest strap. We expect there are more, so please let us know so we can update the list.
