I know we've got a handful of HRM users. Or if you've used one in the past, what do you feel was the biggest benefit?
Largely I hear, "it made me slow down on the days I should run easy", which to be honest, isn't a plug in my book.
Do you feel that training in certain HR% zones has taken your training to a new level?
In all the running junkie reading I do, I'm only remembering one story where someone hung their hat on the HRM as the cornerstone of their training.

I own one, but I don't use it for running any more. It had me going waaaay slow on my easy runs.

I use it all the time when I ride the trainer. It's just a part of the gear now. For me it's really hard to tell my heart rate on the bike and just go by perceived exertion. It's a great help on the bike.

I use it all the time now to help me keep my HR in check. One of the restrictions that I have is I can't get my HR >100. So I set the zone alarm and if it goes off I back off.
When I was training, I used it more for my tempo runs more than anything.

I know how better to pace my self at races, i.e. when I need to back off a bit early on, especially in the longer ones.
easy days-definite plus
hard days, have an idea of really how hard I am work, hrm is pretty objective as compared to "feel like I am workin hard"
