6. A method of conducting a fitness activity challenge comprising:
collecting electronic fitness data related to a fitness activity on a portable electronic device of a user, the portable electronic device including a microprocessor, a display screen, a satellite positioning system receiver, and a wireless communication transceiver, the electronic fitness data including global positioning system waypoints of a route traversed during the fitness activity;
collecting second electronic fitness data related to a second fitness activity on a second portable electronic device of a second user, the second portable electronic device including a second microprocessor, a second display screen, a second satellite positioning system receiver, and a second wireless communication transceiver, the second electronic fitness data including global positioning system waypoints of a second route traversed during the second fitness activity;
generating a first ranking for the electronic fitness data;
generating a second ranking for the second electronic fitness data; and
displaying the first ranking and the second ranking on the display screen, wherein the displaying the first ranking and the second ranking includes normalizing the first ranking and the second ranking based on one of age, weather during the second fitness activity, and length of training time prior to the second fitness activity.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing the electronic fitness data in an electronic route database; and
receiving from the electronic route database, the electronic fitness data on a third portable electronic device, the third portable electronic device further including a microprocessor, a satellite positioning system receiver, a wireless communication transceiver, and a display.
8. A portable health coaching system, comprising:
a first portable electronic device comprising:

provide directions during a second fitness activity along the route;
collect second electronic fitness data during the second fitness activity;
generate a ranking based on the second electronic fitness data;
display the ranking on the display; and
normalize the ranking based on a user's age, weather during the second fitness activity, or a user's training time.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the ranking based on the electronic fitness data.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to provide turn-by-turn directions during the second fitness activity.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second electronic fitness data includes global positioning system waypoints of the route traversed during the fitness activity.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second electronic fitness data includes a time for traversal of the route.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a point total based on the electronic fitness data, and
generating a second point total based on the second electronic fitness data,
displaying the point total, the second point total, the normalized first ranking, and the normalized second ranking.
14. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
a second portable electronic device comprising:
a second satellite positioning system receiver,
a second wireless communication transceiver,
a second display, and
a second processor configured to:
receive the ranking; and
display the ranking on the second display.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the second processor is configured to:
receive the electronic fitness data;
provide directions during a third fitness activity along the route;
collect third electronic fitness data during the third fitness activity;
generate a second ranking based on the third electronic fitness data; and
display the second ranking on the second display.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
receive the second ranking; and
display the second ranking on the display.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the route is traversed is in accordance with a predetermined challenge.
