Tom Boonen of the Quick.Step Cycling team trains with Polar cycling computers to keep one step ahead of the competition; “Heart rate monitoring has become an essential part of my training programme. Using a Polar cycling computer as part of my regime helps to ensure that I won’t burn out too quickly on a long ride and vitally that I’m never pushing too hard when my body is in need of recovery. The constant information allows my coaches to tailor my training accurately but it’s also easy enough to use so that I can easily keep a track of what’s happening inside my body during training. The beauty is that heart rate monitoring isn’t just for professional cyclists. Any cyclist of any ability can benefit from training with a Polar cycling computer and the valuable data it delivers for the user.”
