Cyclists often debate whether a power meter or heart rate monitor is more effective for training. Power meters measure the force applied to the pedals, providing immediate, consistent feedback on effort. Heart rate monitors, on the other hand, track how hard your cardiovascular system works during a ride. Both methods have their benefits, and combining them can give you a comprehensive view of your performance. Whether you’re training for endurance or speed, understanding how to use both tools can help you reach your fitness goals faster.
