Effort level and duration are what give you improvements. A regular distance/speed computer is kind of nifty to have, but shouldn't be used to guide your training. HRMs and powermeters are just ways of quantifying effort level. But you can measure effort level the old fashion way ("doesn't hurt", "hurts a bit", "hurting now", "hurting lots"). |
i have 2 or 3 upstairs in my bike room, but haven't used one in about year. i wear a watch but that's it. back to basics. i just find them distracting, and just go by time and perceived effort.

not necessary but i think faster progress
not talking about avg. speed and stuff but HRM and power |
