RE: [RC] School the Mind; Condition the Legs (was: HRM's and Increasing Intensity) - Mike Sofen

Really, you need to entertain yourself with a HRM for a long time before
the data coming out of it becomes sufficiently meaningful to start making
decisions based on it. Especially since the numbers vary from horse to
horse...and because it is only one of a million things that you need to pay
attention to.

These two points are why I said, for this type of training, to use it every
time.  I personally store the data points in my brain (after all, I AM a
data specialist :-)), and after many training rides, I've got a 3
dimensional map of level of effort, HR, and specific trail.  It does allow
me to compare "today's" workout against prior workouts, both by HR and by
heart "feel", respiration, and body language.  

I need LOTS of rides because, as you say and I agree, horses vary a lot and
I need a complete map (set of data) for the horse I'm riding.
