I used a HRM for a while with my swings, but eventually came back to just loving the mindfulness and simplicity of going by feel. Al Ciampa pointed out that it does work for the protocols, but for most people its probably not worth the complication.
However, if I were to take up more traditional steady state cardio (running, rowing, etc) in a training program, I would definitely use one.
So also with this tech. In certain programs for certain goals, its sounds like an awesome option.
For most programs and most goals, nice to have, but essentially exactly that.
I like recording my sessions on paper and keeping track of sensations and details of the session, things like nutrition that day or the day before, reflection on technique from the session, etc.
Its great to have tech measure the session for you, but I still like recording it.
I'm not "tech averse" in principle, but in practice I am.
I'm also a software developer in Silicon Valley.
Go figure.
