The single best metric to monitor your performance readiness and overall wellbeing is Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and the device best suited to give you that metric is the Oura Ring.
For the past five months, I've been using the Oura Ring to track and monitor my HRV and sleep. Here's what I've learned, and why I recommend the Oura Ring.
