When two years ago I started running Ultra Trail m'avrebbero committed than 10/12 hours I bought a Suunto altimeter, abandoning the Garmin 205, which until then m'aveva unaccompanied.
Soon the Garmin 205 died, and this marked a bit 'up. Then last December, the decision to buy the Garmin 305 for a tool to help me to monitor distances, time and heart rate.
such an instrument, however, is born incomplete if not accompanied by a program enabling the download of data on PC, so you can then monitor the work done.
dismissed out of the Garmin Training Center to the more useful it is to upload the advanced workouts, the dilemma is: Sport Track or use Garmin Connect.
ST, version 3.0, can be used free of charge with some limitations, but in my opinion is the best tool. E 'comprehensive, easy and intuitive. And it's a classic that you install software on your PC while keeping the files on the local history.
Garmin Connect, by contrast, is the essence of the concept of Cloud. Do not install anything, it's all in the network, in short, is what I profess to our daily customers, which, however, that if I'm not going to tell the provider, in this case Garmin decides to pull the plug here is that all your data is lost in the cloud ...
So far the comparison is merciless ST Vs GC, GC, however, has some features that make it very interesting: first, the direct export to the device, without intermediate files. Then the opportunity to share the tracks on the fly, by publishing the link. But above the calendar.

From psychological point of view is a representation that provides an immediate morale when there are many beautiful colored checkboxes, and encouragement when you see that she is making her white master.
Moral: for now I'm recording everything with both products, waiting to take a final decision, they may not come.
