The, 'well, maybe I'll just do one more" seems like such a natural response to keep going. I have never even considered trying to use it as a motivational tool. | |

For me, owning a heart rate monitor has made a huge improvement in my drive because I have a firm metric to measure my progress. For instance, I mostly do a lot of hard cardio ATM to improve my fitness (and lactic acid threshold); so I'll do a 3.5mi beach run and try my hardest to maintain a 176+ BPM throughout the whole run. Plus, to really push the lactic acid barrier I try to throw in a sprint to break 190+ (it's really intense). Without the heart rate monitor I wouldn't be able to do that. | |
