Monday Matters with Holly CochraneREPEAT S2(08) My Oura ring has been an awesome tool for my health.I bought an Oura ring almost a year ago, mostly to give me the data about my body that I already knew. It has worked! My Oura ring gives me a sleep score, recovery score and cycle prediction with amazing accuracy. I have used the data to honour how I am feeling and how much I can push myself and it has helped me feel like my training is purposeful.
