It’s always a good idea to monitor your vitals. If after your training your heart rate remains the same, you made need more time.
I would recommend a fitness watch that allows you to monitor your HR. If that is not in your price range, then yes just a HR monitor will work. You can use your HR to determine if you are running at a pace that works for you.
It’s not necessary so I think it’s not worth it. I honestly think it’ll make you tired. (Unless if you have health condition that requires monitoring ur heart beat)
That’s amazing 😄, I would recommend a heart rate monitor as it can give you some form of material evidence of how you are improving on your training. All the best with the training and getting out of your comfort zone. You are definitely training for something that very few achieve.
Yessss, I feel like it will be w good purchase because it will be qb good motivation for the training to come and sure the tracking will be easier
Measuring your heart rate using a heart rate monitor is a good way to gauge the effectiveness of your workout because as you strengthen your body through exercise, you also strengthen your heart. Measuring the rate of your heart during exercise can help you determine when you’re pushing your body too hard or need to push it harder to achieve the level of fitness you are seeking.
If you really feel it’s necessary, sure. The chest band ones are still the best, smart watch/fitness tracker types are renowned for their inaccuracy.
Yes, absolutely. A marathon puts enormous stress on your body so anything that allows you to keep close tabs on your health is a good idea.
Well, a heart monitor is more than enough... You can use the pulse counter plugged with the treadmill or if you prefer to jog outside you can use a pulse oximeter Which gives you the heart rate, the respiratory rate, and the oxygen saturation Good luck for your marathon and keep on running Sincerely Aly
To be completely honest I’ve never run a marathon so I have no idea but I think it would be good to know if you’re overworking your heart. It could help you train more efficiently too so you know when you’re improving
