In the inaugural episode of the Data Performance Live podcast, hosts Shaun and Ben, both data enthusiasts and passionate cyclists, dive into the influence of data on personal performance. They explore how wearable devices like the Oura ring and Whoop band can track vital metrics such as sleep patterns and heart rate variability, ultimately enhancing both well-being and athletic performance. The duo emphasizes how this data sheds light on the effects of habits, like alcohol consumption, on sleep quality and recovery. By monitoring these metrics, listeners can gain self-awareness and make more sustainable lifestyle changes. Future episodes promise to explore specific data points and innovative biohacking techniques in greater detail.
