MY TRAINING SPACE: David Rhead

I used to store all my bikes and kit inside the house, but as I was amassing more and more, my wife’s tolerance was getting stretched.

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar £549

Garmin’s near range-topping Forerunner 955 is not so much an activity tracker as a complete wrist-based diagnostics tool. Aside from tracking your riding, running or whatever activity you wish to partake in, the GPS watch measures a staggering amount of data, via light reflection, to feed back on your recovery, health, training readiness, optimal training zones, stress levels and more. You can also add the altimeter, barometer, compass, pulse oxidation, respiration, sunrise and sunset times, music player controls, race calendar and more.
