I'm currently a student in college, and I don't have much time to dedicate to exercise. I've been running about twenty miles a week since this semester started, and I've noticed that my gains have stagnated. I don't have any sort of exercise plan except to just go out and get in a thirty minute run.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with heart rate monitors and how they've benefited you. Do you have any sort of exercise plan where you strive to keep your heart rate above a certain level? Have you worked out doing HIIT before? What do you find you like most about running with a heart monitor vs. running without one?

If you have regularly used a heart rate monitor and you really like it, what's your favorite model?

Thanks for the help guys!
