The Gear
One of the benefits of being old(er) is the fact that you can start to afford all the toys you kind of always wanted but didn't really need. Over the past few years I've managed to accrue a lot of these toys, which includes website subscription, watches, and all the accoutrements that come with it.
The toys I still use are:
* Garmin Fenix3
* Garmin Virb Ultra 30 Camera
* Polar Bluetooth Heart Rate Strap
* Iphone
The websites I use are:
* Strava - just so I can see how hard a few friends are training
* Garmin Connect - data is automatically uploaded from the watch to the site
* Training Peaks - this site pulls data from Garmin and puts it into the training calendar. It's expensive and I don't know if I use all its bells and whistles.
The apps I use are all have to do with HRV:
* Ithlete - this is the first one I bought way back when.
*Bioforce - uses the same engine as ithlete but measures HRV differently.
*Sweetbeat - slightly different way of calculating HRV but gives the user much more information than the other two apps.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses. I'm using all three because they all have their uses.
