I'd rather use a power meter than hrm. I've found a power meter has made a massive difference to.my training.

*ish.

Yes, you don't really need one right now, although they aren't that expensive.

I was useless at keeping in the right zone on the road and never really did any structured training when I was racing.

But I'm hoping that training using a Power meter will improve my training, as I don't like being left behind by a 56 year old on a climb

Although losing a about 5kg would be helpful & cheaper. Must stay of the cakes & crisps

Get a garmin with hrm and cadence sensor. It is great for keeping a record of your rides and useful for post ride analysis. I usually ride alone so it helps kick me up the backside when I'm slacking. Also useful to monitor anomolies especially when you reach 250 bpm

I do yes, is it worth it, yes but only if you understand how to interpret the data you get from it.

I use it when doing intervals or training for something to make sure I am not slacking off. But like I said if you dont understand what its telling you there isnt any point in having one.
