Heart Rate Monitor vs. Stryd Footpod
Показать описание
I've been using a chest heart rate monitor for a while now, and I've been using the Stryd footpod for even longer. And while each type of device tries to tell you how hard you're working, regardless of pace, they do so in different ways. And as a result, they end up with different strengths.
For the footpod, I like to use it for pacing myself for races and for higher intensity workouts. And for the rare instances where I do have some hill climbing to do, I especially like having a footpod because I otherwise have no real idea how to pace myself.
For the heart rate monitor, I like to have it for my recovery days and my easier days. For days where I'm working to build aerobic strength and increase that respiratory efficiency, monitoring heart rate is a good way to ensure that I'm not over-exerting myself as I build mileage base.
But regardless of what type of activity I'm doing, I do prefer to have both devices on me at the same time. And that's because I want to have a full library of data to pull from to chart progression. And while I personally don't know how to extrapolate a training plan from my power data (I rely on the stryd power center to do that for me), being able to see how certain power values or heart rates correlate over time to pace has been a way that I've been tracking progress.
