✦AI Summary
A performance test of various wearable fitness trackers during a running interval session revealed significant discrepancies in heart rate accuracy. The Garmin CIRQA performed poorly compared to the WHOOP and Fitbit AIR, which showed the highest statistical agreement.
After my open water test with CIRQA two days ago, today was a more meaningful interval session. It was very hot, and in the end I decided that 5x 3 minutes would be enough. I was running a bit faster than I expected, which was nice but certainly not maximal; all that gym work seems to have been paying off after all.
